Sponsored Columbus Symphony 🎵
Hear Columbus Symphony concertmaster Joanna Frankel perform Prokofiev’s hauntingly beautiful second violin concerto, a staple of the solo violin repertoire. Also on the program, Rossen Milanov leads the orchestra’s string section in Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Caroline Shaw’s Entr’acte, originally written as a string quartet and later expanded for string orchestra. Tickets start at $10. 

Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

Welcome back to another week, Columbus! We’re officially halfway through April which feels kind of wild to say, but I’m not completely mad about it. That’s mostly because this time of year is the perfect time to see loads of adorable baby animals. There’s nowhere better than Slate Run Metro Park. Their working, historical farm is so impressive, and you can actually see all kinds of animals who call the farm home.
