          CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to recognize 
the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra on their achievement of becoming one 
of only five orchestras in the United States to reach their Centennial 
season. Founded in 1895, the Cincinnati Orchestra is now the ninth 
largest symphony in the United States and is only 1 of 18 orchestras 
that perform year-round.
  Ever since their first performance on January 17, 1895, the 
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra has continually brought a wonderful array 
of culture and music to the community. To this date they have recorded 
163 works and released 77 recordings. In 1966 the Cincinnati Symphony 
Orchestra, under Max Rudolf, became the first American orchestra to 
make an around-the-world tour. In 1987, Maestro Lopez-Cobos' first 
recording with the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, de Falla's The Three-
Cornered Hat, was named Record of the Year by Record Review.
  The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra performs at Cincinnati Music Hall 
which is one of the largest halls in the United States. They are the 
official orchestra for the Cincinnati May Festival, the Cincinnati 
Opera and the Cincinnati Ballet.
  I extend my warmest congratulations to all of the members of the 
Cincinnati Orchestra. They should be justifiably proud of their 
accomplishments.
