The Central Ohio Symphony will present its annual 4th of July concert on Wednesday, July 4 at 7:30 p.m.  Conductor Jaime Morales-Matos will direct the orchestra in Phillips Glen, located behind Gray Chapel on the Sandusky Street main campus of Ohio Wesleyan University, just one block south of downtown Delaware. George Needham, Director of the Delaware County District Library will be the host..

“This concert is our gift back to the community for the strong support it has always given us,” said Executive Director Warren W. Hyer. “We look forward to this event every year.”

As is tradition, the evening’s program will feature music by American composers, including the popular “Armed Forces Salute” in recognition of veterans and active service personnel. Hyer said there would be a emphasis on movie and stage music this year, including “Jurassic Park,” “Themes of 007” and music from the Broadway hit “Hamilton.” Opening the concert will be “Liberty Fanfare,” written by John Williams for the rededication of the Statue of Liberty.

One of Ohio’s largest free orchestra performances, attendance in recent years numbered between 6000 and 8000. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a picnic and chairs or a blanket to enjoy annual event, a July 4th tradition for many families.   

Lawn seating is free. The Symphony also provides limited general admission chair seating in front of the stage for $6.00 or online for $6.50. Tickets are available at the Symphony office, located at 24 E. Winter Street in downtown Delaware, as well as at the concert.

You Make the difference!

       The Central Ohio Symphony concerts you enjoy in Gray Chapel and on July 4th are just the beginning of the meaningful ways the Symphony touches the lives of those in our community. As you celebrate the joys of Thanksgiving, know that your support enhances the lives of your neighbors in many ways.
      * Your donation provides hope through the Symphony’s groundbreaking therapeutic drumming programs to both youth and adults. This innovative program aids in the recovery from addiction and supports seniors coping with Alzheimers.
      * Your donation enables fourth grade students from Delaware County elementary schools to play recorder and sing with the Symphony for an entire concert, a once in a lifetime music education experience through Carnegie Hall’s Link Up program.  Students learn the many skills needed to make music together as a group. 
      * This year the Delaware County Farm Bureau’s “Benefit in the Barn” featured the Central Ohio Symphony where you helped raise over $35,000 for local foodbanks and feed families in need.
      * By donating to the Central Ohio Symphony, we hope you have a special sense of satisfaction for the many ways you enhance the lives of people of all ages here in Central Ohio with engaging musical programming, meaningful community projects and events.
