Over 250 photographs, programs, letters, & other historic documents provide a look at the unique story of the CSO, its famed music directors, legendary guest artists & talented musicians. An introduction by Robert C. Vitz, author of THE QUEEN CITY & THE ARTS, shows Cincinnati as it looked in the 1800's when it reigned as the cultural center of the West, & relives the events leading up to the formation of a permanent orchestra by a determined group of women. A visual tour through the decades is provided by a series of color photographs created specifically for CENTENNIAL PORTRAITS by photographer John Gerhardstein & creative director Sam Ashworth. Assembled in these photo montages are artifacts from the Cincinnati Historical Society's vast collection.
