SUMMARY:Beethoven\, Schumann\, & Brahms
DESCRIPTION:Rossen Milanov\, conductor\nMaxim Lando\, piano \nBeethoven: Egmont Overture\nSchumann: Symphony No. 4\nBrahms: Piano Concerto No. 1 \nMusical brilliance abounds in this concert featuring works by three prominent composers from the Classical and Romantic eras. Beethoven’s overture to Egmont is part of the incidental music he composed for the play by Goethe. It portrays in a brilliant and powerful way the ideas of oppression\, struggle\, and freedom. Schumann’s music captures the imagination with its romantic passion and energy\, while offering an innovative formal design where all the movements of the Symphony are linked together. \nRising-star pianist Maxim Lando returns to the Columbus Symphony with Brahms’ virtuosic First Piano Concerto\, a work that poses extraordinary demands on the soloist and is filled with lush melodies and dramatic contrasts. \nThis performance will be approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes\, and includes a 15-minute intermission. \nEnjoy a free pre-concert talk at 6:30PM on Friday and at 2PM on Saturday that dives into the music you’ll hear! There is no assigned seating during the pre-concert talks. \nThis concert is dedicated to the memory of Mark and Annie Bates by their loving family: Deborah\, Hiroshi\, Ken\, Bryan\, and Emily Yoshino. \nThe Columbus Symphony uses Steinway Pianos generously furnished by Graves Piano.\nMr. Lando appears by arrangement of Arabella Arts.

SUMMARY:La traviata
DESCRIPTION:A co-production with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra\, CAPA\, and Opera Columbus. \nComposed by Giuseppe Verdi and inspired by the Alexandre Dumas fils play La Dame aux camélias\, La traviata unfolds as a poignant tragedy.

Overcome by heartbreak and illness\, Violetta ultimately finds her way back to Alfredo\, but their reconciliation comes too late—she dies in his arms\, underscoring the opera’s powerful themes of love\, sacrifice\, and societal judgment. \nRossen Milanov\, conductor \nAubry Ballarò as Violetta Valery\nJohn Bellemer as Alfredo Germont\nRobert Kerr as Giorgio Germont\nBenjamin Bunsold as Gastone de Letorieres\nBrandon Whitish as Baron Douphol\nArtega Wright as Marchese D’Obigny + Grenville\nHilary Ginther as Flora Bervoix\nHannah Bullock as Annina \nAudio Description\, Touch Tour\, and Braille Programs are available at the Sunday performance.\nThis production will be performed in Italian with English captions.
