Westerville North orchestra students enjoyed attending the Russian Winter Festival at the Ohio Theater.
Thirty-three members of the Westerville North High School Orchestra traveled to the Ohio Theater on Friday, January 6, to attend the Columbus Symphony’s Russian Winter Festival. Director Liz Brosius and several chaperones accompanied them. Students ate dinner at the Spaghetti Warehouse and then visited to the Ohio Theater for the concert, where they watched the Columbus Symphony Orchestra (CSO) perform music written by Russian composers. Selections included Romeo and Juliet by Prokofiev; Concerto in D Major for Violin and Orchestra, Op. 35 by Tchaikovsky; and Petrouchka by Stravinsky. Principal dancers from BalletMet collaborated with the CSO for the Romeo and Juliet selections and an encore that featured dancers performing a selection from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake. Rossen Milanov conducted.
