In 1873, a group of visionaries came together with the idea of presenting musical festivals in Cincinnati. These men and women conceived a festival that would transform the musical tastes of America and, at the same time, enhance Cincinnati’s image and national reputation. Due to the expansive dreams and pragmatic skills of its founders and a countless number of volunteers, the May Festival and May Festival Chorus of today delight and enrich the lives of tens of thousands of individuals every year.
We look at the founders of the May Festival with great admiration. Future generations will view current contributors with appreciation for having the foresight and wisdom to preserve the heritage and ensure the continued growth of the May Festival and May Festival Choruses.
