Mega-opera star Luciano
Pavarotti, who recently celebrated his 30 years with the Metropolitan
Opera, will be performing in concert with the Columbus Symphony Orchestra
at Ohio State University's Jerome Schottenstein Center on February 28,
1999 at 7 pm. The concert will benefit the symphony orchestra which,
like many other orchestras around the country, has been struggling financially
through the years . Under new leadership, the symphony has organized a campaign
to raise $3 million. While the halfway mark has already been surpassed,
this concert is being viewed as an important turning point in the symphony's
efforts to reverse its fortunes.
The Columbus Symphony Orchestra is central Ohio's oldest and most prominent
performing arts organization. In 1999 it will present over 200 performances
under the leadership of Music Director Alessandro Siciliani who has
been praised for taking the orchestra to new levels of excellence.
Tickets: $1,000 per person (includes premium seating and post-concert
reception), $375 (premium seating only). |
