There is something remarkable that also happens when one is able to personally witness the raw and amazing talent of human beings coordinating such uniquely different parts or sections of music into one complete and harmonious performance. A live performance from an orchestra is a visual display of unity from diversity at its best. On that note, it would be wonderful if Columbus could obtain a concert hall /arts center fine tuned for live performance. We’ve got many wonderful theatres, sports stadiums, museums, church venues… Right now we’ve got world class musical talent in our backyard, and while it’s nice to have the various theatres and church venues available for performance, it would be wonderful to engage and experience the musical talent we have here in Columbus in such a facility specifically designed for musical performance (and cultural education in our community).
