Stuart Chafetz, conductor
A Columbus favorite and annual tradition, “The Best Damn Band in the Land” joins the Columbus Symphony for patriotic tunes and symphonic favorites, while also showing off their precision marching, dynamic musical arrangements, and beloved fight songs and battle cries. These high-energy concerts are a highlight of the summer season for audiences of all ages.
In the first half of the program, Principal Pops Conductor Stuart Chafetz will lead the orchestra in favorite movie music tunes from Hollywood, from John Williams’ E.T. to Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings and more!
