AOP family composer @gregoryhspears brings a new work to @carnegiehall!

Tonight, October 28, the @columbussymphony presents the New York premiere of Spears’ THE MYSTERIES at Carnegie Hall’s Stern Auditorium, conducted by @rossenmilanov. The work received its world premiere with the orchestra in Columbus on October 23 and 24.

Spears is a 2007–09 alum of AOP’s @composersandthevoice, where his opera PAUL’S CASE (music by Spears, libretto by Spears and Kathryn Walat) originated during his time as a composer fellow. He then returned to the program as an Artistic Chair and composer mentor for the 2017–19 cycle, providing artistic guidance to the next generation of C&V fellows.

Congratulations to Gregory and the Columbus Symphony on THE MYSTERIES’ New York premiere!
