What's Interesting
- Though it was composed at a time when Beethoven was forced to face his increasing deafness, his Second Symphony resonates with energy and frantic joy.
- Guest violinist Esther Yoo, the first-ever Artist-in-Residence with London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, joins the CSO to perform Prokofiev’s dark and flashy Second Violin Concerto. Get to know her through her Instagram and Spotify accounts.
- The CSO commissioned Halcyon Sun by Composer-in-Residence Jonathan Bailey Holland for the opening of Cincinnati's National Underground Railroad Freedom Center.
- For best seat availability, join us for the matinee, and enjoy a little Sunday self-care.
