We are thrilled to welcome back the Columbus Symphony Orchestra to Stuart’s Opera House on Saturday, December 11, 2021! At their first-ever performance at Stuart’s Opera House, they brought their magic to the Stuart’s Stage for a sold-out performance and we are thrilled they can join us this winter. The Columbus Symphony was founded in 1951 as the Columbus Little Symphony, governed and managed by the Women’s Association. From its earliest days, the Columbus Symphony has been committed to education and supporting young musicians, with the Youth Orchestra founded in 1953. Claude Monteux served as the Columbus Symphony’s first Music Director.

Today, each season, the Columbus Symphony serves over 150,000 central Ohioans who attend our performances and participate in our programs, generating over $14 million in economic impact for Columbus. We also reach a broader audience of over 1.6 million through radio broadcasts, online media, community festivals, and more.
