SUMMARY:Summer Night Music in Pickerington
DESCRIPTION:Elias Miller\, conductor \nCuong: Next Week’s Trees\nHaydn: Symphony No. 39 in G minor\nDvořák: Serenade in E Major for String Orchestra\, op. 22 \nJoin Assistant Conductor Elias Miller for a perfect summer evening as he leads the Columbus Symphony in a delightful and invigorating hour-long concert.

Haydn’s Symphony No. 39 is known as “Tempesta di mare” due to its exhilarating turbulence reminiscent of a storm at sea.
