About Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra

Hometown

Cincinnati, OH, United States

Formed

1895

Genre

Classical

The fifth oldest symphony orchestra in the U.S., the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is one of the country's most distinguished. The group, which also performs as the Cincinnati Pops, has been shaped by various top-notch European and American music directors. The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has a long recording history stretching well back into the LP era. That history has continued into the 2020s; the group released American Dreams in 2024. Cristian Măcelaru was set to become the orchestra's new music director beginning in the fall of 2025.
