Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky: The old favorites and plenty of lesser-known gems grace the 2009-2010 Columbus Symphony Orchestra (CSO) schedule. We’ll hear the Cliburn Silver Medal Winner, some of the conductors auditioning for the “top baton” spot and our own Charles Wetherbee on the violin. We almost lost the CSO. This season, and this summer’s Picnic with the Pops, prove that the Symphony’s here to stay!
