Sponsored by Columbus Symphony 🎵
Mozart’s sublime Mass in C minor was, like his Requiem, left unfinished at the time of his death. Numerous scholars have published reconstructions of the work. The edition used for these concerts is a new completion by German musicologist Ulrich Leisinger, premiered in Germany in 2019. Join the Columbus Symphony for a wonderful evening of iconic music.
Tickets start at $10.

Hello, Friday! Chelsea here.

If you’re looking for a fun way to kick off the long weekend, I might just have the perfect suggestion. In celebration of the Summer Reading Challenge, a massive new LEGO display has been installed at the Main Library. The pictures don’t do the display justice (the scale of it is absolutely huge) so you’ll definitely want to make time to go see it for yourself. We’ve got all of the details about where to find it the display, when you can see it, and what you need to know about the Summer Reading Challenge. Have a great weekend, folks!
