The Columbus Symphony

About Me

Our mission is to advance a symphony orchestra of the highest artistic standard for the enrichment, enjoyment, and well-being of central Ohio. This mission is achieved through a diverse set of programming that promises something for everyone throughout the year.

During the fall, winter, and spring, we offer our Classical series and Pops series, at the theatres in downtown Columbus. We also have concerts for children and youth, and special events. During the summer, we have Picnic with the Pops and Popcorn Pops concerts on the lawn of Chemical Abstracts.
