Founded in 1895, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is the fifth oldest orchestra in the United States and represents the evolution of 200 years of musical tradition in the Queen City.
The Philharmonic Society, Cincinnati’s first orchestra of professional musicians, presented three seasons of concerts between 1857 and 1860. But then enthusiasm ebbed until 1872, when Theodore Thomas appeared with his touring orchestra. He returned in 1873 to create an American festival of choral and instrumental works, the first May Festival. Music Hall, today a national historical landmark, was dedicated in 1878 at the third May Festival.
In December of 1872, the Cincinnati Orchestra gave its first concerts. Musicians from that group, led by Michael Brand, later served as the nucleus for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra.
On January 17, 1895 Frank Van der Stucken conducted the first concert of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. The Cincinnati Orchestra Association Company, founded by 15 enthusiastic women under the presidency of Mrs. William Howard Taft, sponsored nine concerts by the 48-man orchestra in the first season. Concerts that season and the next were presented at Pike’s Opera House, and in 1896 the orchestra, which then numbered 60, moved to Music Hall.
The Estonian-born Paavo Järvi began his tenure with the CSO in September 2001.
The CSO also presents year-round family, community and education programs and concerts under the direction of Assistant Conductor Eric Dudley. Concerts in this category include "Lollipop" and "Young People’s" concerts and the "Classical Roots: Spiritual Heights". In addition, the CSO serves as the official orchestra of the annual May Festival and Cincinnati Opera and, as the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra under Erich Kunzel, presents 20 Pops concerts in Music Hall each season.
The CSO supports other diverse efforts in developing and maintaining new audiences through programs such as the annual College Nite and GLBT Night events, plus attracting the young and culturally curious through the CSOEncore! group of volunteers.
