Put on your black-tie attire and travel back in time with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra.
Set for April 5 and 6 at the Ohio Theatre, CSO presents The Trumpet Shall Sound, a performance of three 20th century works with beautifully intense sound, originality and breathtaking range. The night will be led by celebrated conductor Rossen Milanov, and introduce pianist Dominic Cheli and trumpeter George Goad.
The full program will include pieces from Janáček’s Sinfonietta, Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1, and Stravinsky’s The Fairy’s Kiss: Divertimento. Goad will perform a solo alongside Cheli in a combination of musical sounds from the piano, trumpet and string orchestra.
Before and After Show Events
Ticket holders are invited to join Dr. Arved Ashby – professor and head of musicology at The Ohio State University – before the full program as he presents his 30-minute lecture, What’s the Difference Between Homage, Quotation, and Satire?
After the concert, patrons are welcome to join the CSO string players at the Sheraton Bar for drinks and networking.
