America in Harmony Photos

 Thanks to OSU staff, patrons, and Gannon Lovisa for providing concert photos. We appreciate everyone involved in this memorable concert. Who can forget a surprise Summertime in the cadenza for Rhapsody in Blue? Neither the conductor nor the orchestra were warned in advance, and it was pretty magical. There was even a Gershwin encore of I've Got Rhythm with pianist Christian Bohnenstengel and clarinetist Trevor Davis. 

On Stage:
