This all-ages, sensory-friendly performance, featuring conductor Jaap van Zweden and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, celebrates the connection between autism and music, both of which exist on a vast spectrum.

Much like neurodiversity, music reminds us that there is no single way to experience the world — we hope this concert will inspire you to feel, imagine and connect with music in your own unique way.

This pulse-pounding program kicks off with a flurry of iconic marches that span stadiums, screen, and ceremony.

It’s a full-court press of musical power and pride.
