Concert for Community

Harmony reaches thousands of guests each year with high-energy productions that have garnered local, regional, and national audiences.

Harmony’s powerhouse 500-voice chorus representing the cultural mosaic of our Central Ohio community returns to the stage for their first large concert since 2019, at Columbus Commons. This free-to-the-public event will also feature the Harmony Band and Orchestra.
