Help the CSO Fight Hunger!

The Friday, April 8 concert is part of Orchestras Feeding America, a national initiative to help fight hunger in the United States. 

One in six neighbors in our Tri-State area is at risk of hunger. In response to this need, the CSO is holding a food drive for Freestore Foodbank on April 8 in conjunction with the concert Latin Passion at Music Hall.

Starting April 4, with a canned food donation, you can purchase a concert ticket to Latin Passion on April 8 for only $10.

Already have a ticket for April 8th? Call the box office at 513.381.3300 to see how you can still participate.

Orchestras Feeding America (OFA), has seen over 450 orchestras from across the country collect and donate nearly 475,000 pounds of food. The efforts of these orchestras have helped spread the word about how and why orchestras are so necessary to their communities, beyond providing amazing music.
