The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra announced a new contract with its musicians. After reducing personnel costs by 15 percent in 2009, the Cincinnati Orchestra is able to hire 14 more full-time players over the next four years, expanding the size of the ensemble to 90. This is possible due to increased donations (up by 60 percent since 2009) and the elimination of unnecessary costs. The orchestra also moved forward artistically under its music director Louis Langrée.
