Mission
The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is a dynamic ensemble of some of the world's finest musicians. Founded in 1895, the CSO has a proud history of being the fifth oldest orchestra in the United States and the first orchestra in the state of Ohio. Of the 1,800 orchestras across the country, the CSO is one of only 18 to provide full-time year-round employment to its musicians. These factors, along with more than a century of community support, enable the CSO to be a leading cultural arts resource to the City of Cincinnati and the surrounding region. Approximately 250,000 people each year attend performances by the Orchestra, with more than 1,800 people on average attending each CSO classical subscription concert at Music Hall.
