Columbus Indiana Philharmonic

Five By Design and our dear friend and touring partner Richie Cole lit up the audience with  the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic. The hi-light of the evening was Richie’s performance of “Pure Imagination” and Five By Design’s arrangements of “Eddie Jefferson” and “What A Wonderful World.” Kudos to David Bowden and the CIP. We had a marvelous time and the after concert soiree was magnificent. We met a group of wonderful patrons who were very enthusiastic about the performance.
