The Young Musician’s Showcase begins one hour prior to start of the concert.

If you are interested in being a part of the Young Musician’s Showcase, please contact Jeani Stahler at 614-228-9600 ext. 1218 or jstahler@columbussymphony.com. All participants receive two complimentary tickets to that evening’s Columbus Symphony concert.
