The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra (CSO) has announced a forward-looking initial endowment pledge of $10 million from Dianne and J. David Rosenberg to support the Orchestra’s innovation initiatives. The press release says. « As the Orchestra seeks to evolve artistic and educational experiences to engage today’s audiences and students, the Dianne and J. David Rosenberg Innovation Fund will catalyze programs that challenge traditional boundaries, elevate artistic excellence, and deepen community engagement. The investment will enable the CSO to engage the Cincinnati community in new and dynamic ways, in fulfillment of the CSO’s vision of being the most relevant orchestra in America. »
As Chair of the CSO Board of Directors since 2022, Dianne Rosenberg has been at the forefront of implementing the Orchestra’s strategic plan that serves to fulfill the CSO’s mission and vision. The Dianne and J. David Rosenberg Innovation Fund will support the strategic initiatives of the CSO and enable ongoing audience research, learning programs as well as new concert formats, artists, and programming that push the boundaries of a traditional orchestral concert experience. This commitment also comes at a pivotal time as the CSO celebrates the arrival of Cristian Măcelaru as its next Music Director beginning in 2025.
