CSO Concert was inspiring!

Tonight's performance was inspiring! Simply amazing performance. The CSO proved to all in attendance what they do best and how much they are needed.

The Fantasian on a Theme by Thomas Tallis was so moving to me personally. The way in which Maestro Hirokami shaped the piece and phrased it was phenomenal.

Korngold was played by Concertmaster Wetherbee with finesse and great virtuosity. It was great to hear a newer piece which many have previously not heard. It was truly appreciated by the audience.

Beethoven 7 was crafted perfectly by orchestra and maestro alike. Each performer poured their soul into creating this evening's performance and it was evident. The crowd thundered to their feet in approval after the final chords of the orchestra. It was great to see the musicians smiling after the performance. It seemed that for a while all attention was drawn to the music and the showdown between the orchestra and the board took the backstage spot for the evening.

I was inspired and the attendance and enthusiasm of the audience was palpable. A great concert and bravo to the musicians of our Columbus Symphony Orchestra!!
