When the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) announced its impressive 2019-2020 season lineup, it became immediately apparent that the orchestra’s 125th year will be a very special one! Featuring a diverse array of musical offerings and guest artists that is nothing if not extraordinary, the introduction of late-summer outdoor extravaganza “Look Around” in Washington Park promises to be one of the season’s main highlights.

The Cincinnati Symphony was established in 1896 and is the sixth oldest symphony orchestra in the United States. At that time, Haydn and Beethoven were still living and Cincinnati was only a small village surrounding Fort Washington. The Cincinnati Orchestra gave its first concert in December of 1872 and the nucleus of that group eventually went on to become the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra that we know and love today.

Did you know the Queen City was once home to King Records Cincinnati - one of the most influential record labels? Or that The Twist (Later made famous by Chubby Checker) was first recorded here? Some of James Brown's most significant recordings were also recorded at the King Records studios!
