What inspires you to continue supporting the CSO?

JK: It never occurred to me not to subscribe to the symphony. The eleven years that I’ve been a GM have really given us an added dimension. We’re now interacting with the Orchestra from the inside rather than the outside. It’s a different feeling every time we go to a concert. We really feel like part of the CSO family. It’s a big difference.
