Dear Columbus Symphony Supporter,
Welcome to the Columbus Symphony’s 2023 Holiday Pops, a grand holiday tradition for all in central Ohio!
We are excited to once again bring the magic of the holidays to the Ohio Theatre, transforming it into a winter wonderland full of beautiful decorations, wonderful music, heavenly voices, and seasonal cheer! The Columbus Symphony Chorus and Columbus Children’s Choir will join the Orchestra onstage in presenting some of our best-loved holiday songs and carols. And we may even have a special visitor from the North Pole!
One of the joys of the holiday season is to reflect on the past year, and to share our sincere gratitude for your continued support of all that we will continue to accomplish together. 2023 has been a year full of extraordinary performances and education and community engagement programming, which has enriched central Ohio and advanced the Symphony’s mission, Inspiring and building a strong community through music. Thank you for your support of our ongoing work to bring the transformative power of music to everyone in central Ohio and beyond.
On behalf of the entire Columbus Symphony family, we wish you and yours the joy and brightness of the holiday season and all that is to come in the new year before us.
Please enjoy tonight’s performance!
