CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA’S COSTUME CONCERT A UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL EVENT.
On February 9, at the Hotel Sinton, this organization gave, perhaps for the first time, a concert of this kind by any orchestra in the United States. All details were carried oat as far as possible, according to the time of Haydn. The concert was given by candle light, and the forty ladies of the committee and many in the audience appeared in costumes of that period. The concert was a huge success, artistically and financially, being given for the benefit of the Service Fund for the men of the orchestra.
