- Welcome to Music Hall! This emotion-packed concert weekend marks the CSO’s return to live public performances. The concerts will be socially distanced and limited capacity, and will adhere to all safety protocols.
- Dmitri Shostakovich’s Second Piano Concerto was written as a birthday gift to his son, Maxim, in 1957. Fun fact: Maxim conducted the CSO on two occasions.
- Walker’s Folksongs for Orchestra explores the moving melodies of four African American Spirituals.
- Kodály’s Dances of Galánta is a virtuosic orchestral gem that highlights dynamic range starting slowly then building into frenetic, roaring energy.
- As part of our commitment to access, $10 first-timer and Pay What You Wish tickets are offered for the Fri/Sun performances by calling 513.381.3300. Student Access tickets are $15 and available through online checkout.
