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.

SUMMARY:Friday Coffee Dress: Barber's Adagio and Elgar's Enigma
DESCRIPTION:Observe a working rehearsal as the musicians and conductor put the finishing touches on the weekend’s concert program. Doors open at 9AM\, and free coffee and donuts are included in the price of your ticket (while supplies last)! New this year: enjoy the opportunity to purchase a mimosa or Bloody Mary from the Ohio Theatre bar.\nMiguel Harth-Bedoya\, conductor\nJasmine Choi\, flute  \nJimmy López: Perú Negro\nNielsen: Concerto for Flute and Orchestra\nBarber: Adagio for Strings\nElgar: Variations on an Original Theme\, Op. 36 (“Enigma Variations”)  \nGuest conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya\, former music director of the Fort Worth Symphony Orchestra\, opens this concert with Perú Negro\, a piece he commissioned from star composer Jimmy López that is an exciting homage to Afro-Peruvian music. Virtuoso flautist Jasmine Choi\, with a tone “glowing like gold [that] resonates like pearls” (Nikkei Daily Newspaper) performs the great Danish composer Carl Nielsen’s Flute Concerto before the Columbus Symphony ends the evening with two popular 20th-century works: Samuel Barber’s heart-rending Adagio for Strings has become synonymous with moments of national reflection and catharsis\, while Edward Elgar’s “Enigma Variations” is a musical cryptogram depicting the composer’s inner circle\, including the elegantly moving “Nimrod.”

It comprises a massive emotional journey\, and along the way\, we visit a Scherzo that highlights Austrian dances and horn solos\, as well as the touching Adagietto for strings and harp — Mahler’s most famous composition and a musical love letter to his wife\, Alma. The Second Symphony of prolific 20th-century American composer Alan Hovhaness\, subtitled “Mysterious Mountain\,” provides a sweeping and spiritual opening to the evening.
