Good morning,

Carnegie Hall — the world-renowned concert hall in midtown Manhattan — is a more than eight-hour drive from Athens, but you can get a taste of it on campus tonight.

Ohio University’s Wind Symphony is slated to perform at Carnegie Hall on Monday as part of a celebration of the School of Music’s 100th anniversary, but the group will give a preview of its show tonight at Templeton-Blackburn Alumni Memorial Auditorium.

The Wind Symphony will perform seven pieces, some of which were composed by OU professors, a graduate student in the symphony told The Post.

The performance starts at 7:30 p.m. Admission is free.
