Summer Night Music in Powell

Elias Miller, conductor

Cuong: Next Week’s Trees
Haydn: Symphony No. 39 in G minor
Dvořák: Serenade in E Major for String Orchestra, op. 22

Join Assistant Conductor Elias Miller for a perfect summer evening as he leads the Columbus Symphony in a delightful and invigorating hour-long concert. Contemporary composer Viet Cuong’s spirited Next Week’s Trees is “a meditation on the persistence of hope in an ever-fragile world” inspired by the words of poet Mary Oliver. Haydn’s Symphony No. 39 is known as “Tempesta di mare” due to its exhilarating turbulence reminiscent of a storm at sea. The program concludes with the warm and lush sounds of Dvořák’s perennially popular Serenade for Strings.

The Summer Night Music neighborhood concert series brings classical music out to central Ohio communities and provides a relaxed setting for sharing symphonic music with friends and neighbors.

Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door.
