Columbus Symphony Gala

On Saturday, August 14, 2021, The Columbus Symphony Gala took place at The Fives and the new home of White Castle in celebration of honorary chairs, Marci and Bill Ingram. Nearly 300 guests were in attendance, making this the Symphony’s most successful fundraising event in their 70-year history. With performances by Columbus Symphony musicians, Concertmaster Joanna Frankel, guest vocalist Jennifer Cherest, and music direction by Rossen Milanov, the event was not one to be missed. Previously focusing their mission on the excellence of music, in 2019, the Symphony’s board crafted a new and innovative change to their mission statement - to use the inspiration and excellence of music in order to build a stronger community. The proceeds from the gala will directly benefit the Symphony’s three-year plan of meaningful service to central Ohio as they continue crafting a tight-knit arts community through music.
