The Columbus Symphony Orchestra (CSO) presents “Beethoven and The Scottish” on May 13th, 2023. This concert features Felix Mendelssohn’s third symphony known as the “Scottish” because it reflects Scotland, its climate, and its culture. Pianist and former Schwob School of Music professor Henry Kramer returns to Columbus to perform Beethoven’s fourth piano concerto replacing Claire Huangci. The concert will begin at 7:30 PM and will be performed in the Bill Heard Theatre at the RiverCenter for the Performing Arts. The CSO’s 2023-2024 concert season will also be announced as part of the evening’s event.

Music Director and Conductor, George Del Gobbo commented, “Something has changed. Claire Huangci, the scheduled guest pianist for the CSO's May 13 concert has been forced to withdraw because of a hand injury. We are pleased to announce that former Schwob School of Music professor, and Columbus favorite, Henry Kramer will take her place. So, new pianist, same wonderful orchestra, same Beethoven and Mendelssohn, same world-class hall....and you. See you then.”
