    One of the few US orchestras that is very successful financially. Bravo.

  • John Kelly says:

    Tremendous. Why can’t Gelb find donors like this for the Met???

  • Officer Krupke says:

    That will get drained by executive salaries fairly quickly

  • Fred Funk says:

    That’s a lot of hygiene products for the viola players….

    Take 9 million and donate it to a children hospital…do some real good…actually I would like to see a partnership between a symphony and children hospital…

    • SlippedChat says:

      Not sure why you happened to pick the example of a donation to, or musical partnership with, a hospital for children, but Cincinnati Children’s Hospital regularly ranks among the best in America and is very well-financed indeed.

      And although not specifically connected with the hospital, the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops have a long history of concerts for children.

        Thank you for setting me straight…I have a friend at the CSO that donates and has them in his will but wouldn’t send a dime to any child supporting medical organization…it just set me off…we are both over 70..
