CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA - CONNESSON PREMIERE & RACHMANINOFF

Carrie Owings, Veteran USAF, sent us the following comments, "Just a note to say how much we appreciated the tickets to the CSO concert last night.  With two (2) of our kids deployed (1 Navy & other Coast Guard), another two (2) out of town … it was an unexpected joy to spend Mother's Day in such a wonderful environment.  Music Hall is truly a restored gem, and a perfect setting for this performance.  The premiere & Rachmaninoff 2 exceeded our expectations, moving and inspirational!  Cincinnati is fortunate to have one of the finest symphonies with such dedicated performers. What a treat!  Please express our gratitude to the generous contributor(s) that made this possible.

Roy Haley, Retired USAF, share with us "Thank you so much for the tickets to the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra!  Rachmaninoff was such a hit for my 17-year old daughter!  It was her first experience with a symphony and she just loved it.  I did, too!  Again, thanks so much!"
