Under Mrs. Frances S. Wyman, appointed by the CSO Board, the committee numbered approximately 1,200 women. In 1985 the Women s Committee, Friday Nighters and Men s Business Relations Committee were combined to form the Cincinnati Symphony Association. The association was officially established by the CSO Board to strengthen public appreciation of the CSO s contribution to the cultural and economic life of Cincinnati and southwest Ohio. Through volunteer services, the CSA engages in activities and projects to enhance public relations and the financial strength of the orchestra and its related activities, including the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. The CSA is governed by the CSO Board of Trustees.
Membership is open to anyone who has an interest in the orchestra.
