Sponsored Columbus Symphony 🎵
The premiere of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No. 1 was by all accounts a disaster due to a sub-par performance and harsh public criticism, and the symphony was not performed again in the composer’s lifetime. This powerful and expressive work endured and now occupies its rightful place in the orchestral canon and you can see it performed by the Columbus Symphony this weekend. Tickets start at $10. 

Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend, and that if you celebrated St. Paddy’s Day, you did so safely! We’ve got a lot to get through this morning, so I’m just going to dive right in. This morning, we’re kicking things off with a look back at some of the most interesting historic saloons and bars in Columbus. My personal favorite is The First and Last Chance Saloon. Someone should bring that place back!
