The Columbus Symphony celebrates its 75th Anniversary season with a tour to New York’s Carnegie Hall — the orchestra’s first performance at the venue since 2001, which was the Columbus Symphony’s 50th Anniversary. The program includes the New York premiere of The Mysteries, a newly commissioned work by acclaimed American composer Gregory Spears. Superstar bass-baritone Davóne Tines, who is “changing what it means to be a classical singer” (Alex Ross, The New Yorker), will perform Concerto No. 2: ANTHEM, a piece he created in collaboration with composers Michael Schachter, Caroline Shaw, and Tyshawn Sorey, as well as poet Mahogany L. Browne, that examines and reimagines the national anthem and other American songs. Tchaikovsky’s powerful Fifth Symphony, with its famous “fate” motif, begins in the depths of despair, then twists and turns towards an exciting, triumphal march.
Tickets can be purchased at carnegiehall.org, by calling Carnegie Hall at 212.247.7800, or at the Carnegie Hall Box Office on 57th Street and Seventh Avenue in New York.
