Friday Coffee Dress: Mysteries, Anthems & Victories - Columbus Symphony

Get an insider's peek at how a professional orchestra prepares for performance! The Columbus Symphony invites families to observe a working rehearsal where musicians and the conductor polish the program for the upcoming weekend concert. Doors open at 9 AM, and the experience includes complimentary coffee and donuts—a nice touch for early risers. New this year, adults can grab a mimosa or Bloody Mary from the Ohio Theatre bar if they'd like. This is a great outing for anyone curious about classical music and orchestral performance, whether you're a longtime fan or just looking for something different to do with the kids. Watching professionals at work offers a chance to see behind the curtain and appreciate the skill involved in bringing a concert together. Just note that refreshments are available while supplies last, so arriving when doors open gives you the best selection.
