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. Featuring music from Strauss, Bernstein, John Williams and others, the program invites you to explore how sound shapes emotions, thoughts, and interactions. 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.

What happens when school spirit, cinematic power, and classical fanfare meet center stage? You get Mad About Marches—a sport-centric evening of pure orchestral momentum that brings together fans of music, athletics, and pageantry in one unforgettable celebration.

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

Audiences will cheer for local favorites like the University of Michigan and Michigan State University fight songs, get swept up in the thrill of John Williams’ Imperial March, and soar with one of his Olympic masterpieces. It’s a full-court press of musical power and pride.
