The S.C. Philharmonic: A Concert for Columbia

November 23, 2015

Masterworks 1 Make-Up
December 8, 2015 at 7:30 p.m.| Koger Center for the Arts


A Concert for Columbia
is dedicated to the City of Columbia, Richland County, and first responders who protected Columbia during the catastrophic flood. It replaces the 2015/2016 Masterworks Series opener postponed Friday, Oct. 9 in the flooding aftermath.

Music Director Morihiko Nakahara instead presents Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony – the prolific “Choral” symphony. Vocal soloists and an assembled choir will join the orchestra for the performance, and the audience will receive music and be invited to sing along during the triumphant, uplifting “Ode to Joy” finale.

The S.C. Philharmonic is donating $1 from every ticket sold for the concert to the Central Carolina Community Foundation’s S.C. Flood Relief Fund.

First responders employed by the City of Columbia, Richland County, state law enforcement agencies, and the S.C. National Guard who assisted with public safety efforts during and after the flood are eligible for a free ticket to A Concert for Columbia. Their family members will receive half-price admission.
