Henry Wadsworth Longfellow said, "Music is the universal language of mankind." Here in Cincinnati, our world-class orchestra has been speaking this beautiful language since 1895. There's another kind of longevity to celebrate--the 19th season of Parties of Note! And since 19 leads to 20, we can already anticipate our 20th anniversary in 2007. What an accomplishment! From its inception, the Cincinnati Symphony Association's Parties of Note project has been popular, successful, enlightening, educational, and fun. Every season offers unique events that entertain hundreds of people while raising funds (and the profile) of the CSO in our community. Many people are involved in planning, hosting and performing each season. Our gracious hosts and hostesses, loyal volunteers, outstanding musicians and dedicated staff all deserve our grateful appreciation and thanks. Enjoy the 19th season of Parties of Note, and thank you for your support. Jane Tuten CSA President Parties of Note XIX
