Join the Columbus Symphony Orchestra of Indiana this Sunday, 6/8 on a musical journey down rivers near and far, from the Mississippi to the Danube. Along the way, we'll hear the first cuckoo in spring and experience a summer night afloat in France. The highlight of the program will be Rick Sowash's evocative Clarinet Concerto, performed by soloist Christopher Bade, with an introduction by the composer himself!
Guest Conductor, Josh Aerie.
