Sponsored Columbus Symphony šµ
The premiere of Sergei Rachmaninoffās 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 composerās 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 next month. Tickets start at $10.
Hello, Wednesday! Chelsea here.
In March of 1913, Columbus faced its darkest hours when relentless rains swelled the Scioto River beyond its banks, unleashing a catastrophic flood that would mark the city's history forever. The Great Flood of 1913 not only reshaped the physical landscape of Columbus but also the cityās community spirit, revealing tales of tragedy, resilience, and unprecedented unity. As we look back on this pivotal moment, we uncover the profound impact of the city's deadliest natural disaster and the lessons it left in its wake.
