Last night was… AMAZING 🤩 Just one more night of a Jeffrey Mumford world premier and Mahler 1! Check the link in our bio for tickets.
Tonight`s concert of Mahler 1 is dedicated to the memory of Rhoma Berlin by the Berlin Family. Rhoma Lea Van De Mark Berlin (1927-2025) was a longtime member of the Friends of the Columbus Symphony Canterbury Unit, as well as a devoted supporter of the Columbus Symphony who for many years sponsored the orchestra’s principal clarinet chair.
With deep gratitude we celebrate Rhoma and her lasting legacy of support to our arts community
Yesterday morning we invited hundreds of students for our Link Up concert! Link Up guides students grades 3–5 and music teachers through a months-long exploration of orchestral repertoire supported by extensive, freely-provided curriculum materials and online resources. The program culminates in an inclusive performance, at which students are invited to actively participate by playing recorder or string instrument, singing and dancing along with the orchestra. This year’s Link Up program, The Orchestra Rocks, explores when music propels both audiences and performers into motion. Rhythm, defined as the organization of sounds in silence, is a key element in music that rocks as composers and musicians use patterns and grooves to drive music forward. Rock music embodies this propulsive quality with its amplified and electric sounds.
