A MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES Dear Columbus Symphony Supporter, As the wonderful performances of our 2019-20 season continue, we again thank you for your support of quality, live performances of orchestral music in our community! We start the new year by putting the star in Columbus with Russian Winter Festival I: Natasha Returns (January 10–12, Ohio Theatre). Natasha Paremski performs Rachmaninoff’s first piano concerto, and the concert concludes with the dramatic genius of Tchaikovsky in his powerful Manfred symphony. Following is our Russian Winter Festival II: Exotic Masterpiece (January 24 & 25, Ohio Theatre). Rossen Milanov takes you on a musical journey through Russia highlighting favorites, such as works by Prokofiev and Rimsky-Korsakov, and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. In February, you’re in for an amazing performance from organ soloist Cameron Carpenter. Saint-Saëns Organ Symphony with Cameron Carpenter (February 21 & 22, Ohio Theatre) will showcase the Ohio Theatre’s powerful “Mighty Morton” pipe organ—one of the best instruments of its kind in the country. February concludes with a highlight of the season, Chihuly Festival: Bluebeard’s Castle (February 28 & 29, Ohio Theatre). Inspired by the legend of Bluebeard, this production fuses Bartok’s iconic thriller with the work of celebrated artist Dale Chihuly. 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!

  • Cameron Carpenter, Innovative Spirit of the Twenty-First the Instruments Are Very Different but Complementary
    The Festival history The International Organ Festival “Città di Bergamo” was born at the beginning of the Nineties as a gamble among friends. Convinced of the need to bring to the town an international top circuit of concerts, especially considering the quality and variety of its organs, in 1992 the association Vecchia Bergamo organized a ‘test’ concert. Jean Guillou, one of the most famous contemporary players in the world and titular of the great organs at St. Eustache in Paris, was invited with a special mission: to introduce the improvisation on themes given by the audience in his program. As a matter of fact, this art which is considered as a fundamental pillar by all northern European organ Schools had practically disappeared from the Italian churches in the last fifty years. The clear goal was to show and consequently to measure the reactions of the public, on how much the interpreter’s capability in communicating his own unique feeling is of basic importance to create a larger popular interest around organ music, which up to that time was considered a specialists’ niche. The success was so great and enthusiastic that the year after the International Organ Festival started officially on the big Serassi organ at S.Alessandro della Croce in Pignolo: a perfect instrument, just restored, for portraying a wide range of music and, at the same time, for representing worthily the important organ builders’ tradition of our land. The guidelines and contents of the Festival were, and still are, the following: to focalize on the real actor
