In the last five years, the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has had 21 sell-outs in Music Hall, boosted attendance by double digits and nearly doubled the number of donations to its annual fund.“Something unique and exceptional is happening, and it’s unique to Cincinnati,” said president Trey Devey, who joined the orchestra in January 2009.
The orchestra’s fiscal year, which ended in August, saw the completion of a five-year strategic plan, in which it posted five consecutive years of a balanced budget. But success for an orchestra has to be more than balancing the books. Last season saw groundbreaking initiatives such as LumenoCity, the concert and digital light spectacular, which brought 35,000 people to Washington Park over two nights, and “One City, One Symphony,” a program of listening parties and performances that galvanized the city around one musical work, Beethoven’s Ninth.
