LineUp

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra is one of America's finest ensembles, known for groundbreaking initiatives and premiering works by major composers like Debussy, Ravel, and Copland. Established over a century ago, the internationally acclaimed orchestra has a history of pioneering national radio broadcasts and recordings.
Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975), a Russian composer from St. Petersburg, is celebrated for his 15 symphonies and chamber music. His classical style features sharp contrasts, grotesque elements, and deep emotional intensity. Renowned works include Symphony No. 5 and the "Leningrad" Symphony. He navigated a complex relationship with the Soviet regime, establishing a powerful legacy as a 20th-century master.
Born in Taiwan and raised in Australia, violinist Ray Chen is a child prodigy who won the Yehudi Menuhin and Queen Elisabeth competitions. He debuted at the 1998 Winter Olympics, recorded for Sony and Decca, performed at the 2012 Nobel Prize Concert, and plays a 1715 Stradivarius.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold, an Austrian-born child prodigy, was a revered composer known for his lush, late-Romantic style. He pioneered symphonic film scores in Hollywood, earning two Academy Awards for works like "The Adventures of Robin Hood." His notable compositions include the opera "Die tote Stadt" and a Violin Concerto, praised by Mahler and Strauss, showcasing his rich melodies and orchestrations.
Cristian Măcelaru is a Romanian conductor who serves as the Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and the Orchestre National de France. Born in Timișoara, he rose to international prominence in 2012 after stepping in for Pierre Boulez with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He is a Grammy Award winner recognized for his interpretive rigor and advocacy for contemporary music.
