Chicago Symphony Orchestra participates in Smithsonian's "Giving in America" Exhibit

02 Dec 2015 11:57 AM | Gretchen Neidhardt (Administrator)

Frank Villella discusses the CSO's Rosenthal Archives contribution. See below for an excerpt!

At the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History in Washington, D.C., this giving spirit is the focus of a long-term Philanthropy Initiative announced on #GivingTuesday that includes a new display, “Giving in America” unveiled on December 1, 2015, and on view through November 2016. Included in this display is a very special artifact from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Rosenthal Archives: the oldest of Thomas’s scores for Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony, a work prominently featured on those inaugural concerts.
