We dedicate this concert to everyone who left their homes to keep us going or stayed home to keep us safe. You are the heart of Ohio. The symphony will be joined by the voices and talents of our New Albany Symphony Chorus and guest soloists Colin Sproule, Liz Wheeler, Adam Heaston and Meghan Hohman. The program features Beautiful Ohio, an excerpt from Bernstein’s Wonderful Town, Carmen Ohio and Copland’s Old American Songs. Sit back and enjoy the songs that are part of our state’s history and be inspired by Ohio’s very own accomplished Student Concerto Competition Winners.
