Greetings, neighbors!
The KSO always looks foward to our free gatherings in the park each year. They provide us the opportunity to share great music across generations in a relaxed, friendly, open-air environment (when Mother Nature cooperates). Nearly 400,000 of our neighbors have enjoyed these concerts with their families the years.
This summer – our 28th in the great outdoors – offers more of the nostalgia and unique presentations that you’ve come to expect from the KSO. You’ll hear familiar marches that accompany ceremonies, opera, ballet, film and more. You’ll experience the hit shows and songs of America’s most celebrated musical theater composer and lyricst. And you’ll toast the classic songs from America’s golden era of entertainers and crooners as the Rat Pack – Frank, Dean, and Sammy – returns to Greater Cincinnati with celebrated tunes and antics.
As always, these shows are free to attend, but they certainly are not free to produce. I hope you’ll support these cherished times with friends and family by visiting the donation boxes about the park or go online to KYSO.ORG and show you value our time together as much as we do. Enjoy your summer with the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra.
James R. Cassidy,
Music Director
