Elias Miller

Elias Miller appears as conductor with the Columbus Symphony on January 21, 2027, leading a program built around music for winds. The concert features Strauss's early wind suite, a new piece by Wu, and Dvořák's serenade for winds, cello, and bass. Beyond this listing, no verified biographical details are available.

This program centers on the sound of wind instruments playing together without a full orchestra. Strauss's Suite in B flat major, written when he was a teenager, is scored for 13 winds and moves through crisp, march-like sections alternating with slower, singing melodies, showing off the blend of oboes, clarinets, horns, and bassoons. Wu's Along the Pacific Flyway is a newer work, likely drawing on imagery of migrating birds along the West Coast, a fitting companion to the wind-heavy instrumentation. Dvořák's Serenade for Winds closes the program, adding cello and double bass to the wind ensemble for warmer, folk-inflected tunes with a dance-like lift. Listeners can expect a concert focused on color and texture rather than large orchestral force, with the conductor shaping balance among the wind players.
