Strauss & Dvořák - Columbus Symphony

Join Assistant Conductor Elias Miller for an intimate chamber music evening featuring works by two classical masters. You'll hear Dvořák's Serenade for Winds, which captures the romantic spirit of a European castle, alongside an early Richard Strauss composition written for thirteen wind instruments. The program also includes music by contemporary composer Sam Wu, whose pieces are known for their delicate and atmospheric qualities. This is a wonderful outing for families who enjoy orchestral music or want to introduce children to classical performances in a more personal setting than a full symphony. The chamber format—with a smaller ensemble than a traditional orchestra—creates an intimate atmosphere that can feel less overwhelming for younger listeners while still delivering beautiful, sophisticated music.
