Warren Civic Music Association, Ohio Arts Extravaganza

On May 7, 2026, Warren Civic Music Association presents the Ohio Artist Extravaganza at the historic W.D. Packard Music Hall in Warren, Ohio — a celebration of Ohio-born musical talent featuring Maestro Mariano Longo and the 30-piece SoundScape Symphony. Guests can expect an electrifying evening of beloved classics from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s performed entirely by instrumentalists and vocalists with roots in Northeast Ohio and across the state.

This concert directly celebrates America’s 250th anniversary by spotlighting Ohio’s extraordinary contribution to American music and culture. As the oldest community arts organization in Ohio and a 85-year institution in the Warren community, WCMA has long been a steward of the performing arts in the region. The Ohio Artist Extravaganza honors that legacy while lifting up the next generation of Ohio musicians — embodying the spirit of “Ohio Creates,” America 250-Ohio’s designated theme for May 2026.
