BRAVO NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2018/JANUARY 2019 4 A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Dear Columbus Symphony Supporter, As the wonderful performances of our 2018-19 season continue, we again thank you for your support of quality, live performances of orchestral music in our community! We open our Pops season with Spaced Out: A Sci-Fi Movie Music Spectacular! (November 17, Ohio Theatre). Stuart Chafetz debuted as principal pops conductor last summer during an amazing 2018 Nationwide Picnic with the Pops season. Now, we welcome him to the Ohio Theatre in his first Pops performance, which celebrates sci-fi TV and film favorites like Star Wars, Star Trek, Back to the Future, and more. Following that is the long-standing annual Columbus tradition of Holiday Pops (November 30 – December 2, Ohio Theatre). Ronald J. Jenkins leads the Columbus Symphony and Chorus in some of the season’s most-loved holiday songs and carols. Bring the whole family and kick off your holiday season with the CSO! After last year’s sold-out concerts, the Russian Winter Festival I (January 4 & 5, Ohio Theatre) returns, ringing in the new year with a performance of Shostakovich’s iconic Leningrad Symphony. Join us for this powerful composition which conveys tragedy, oppression, resistance, and ultimately, victory. We continue with Russian Winter Festival II (January 11 & 12, Ohio Theatre) that features principal dancers from BalletMet in the Suite from Sleeping Beauty, and guest pianist Sergei Babayan in Tchaikovsky’s Piano Concerto No. 1. The virtuosity and brilliant orchestral colors of the Columbus Symphony will shine brightly as we conclude the performance with Prokofiev’s Symphony No. 5. We hope you are as excited as we are to launch the Pops season and to welcome the return of the Russian Winter Festival performances! On behalf of the musicians, staff, and board of the Columbus Symphony, we sincerely thank you for your enduring support, enthusiasm, and faith in this organization. Please enjoy tonight’s performance!
