The Westerville Symphony closes its season with an evening of extraordinary color, rhythm, and sweeping orchestral sound.

Pianist Suzanne Newcomb takes center stage for Gershwin's vibrant, jazz-infused Concerto in F, before the orchestra brings the season to a radiant conclusion with Ravel's breathtaking Daphnis et Chloé, Suite No. 2.
