HISTORICAL SKETCH 15 Historical Sketch NLY slow and logical growth of musical taste, developing with the progress of a community, can result in the establishment and main­ O tenance of a symphony orchestra as the highest medium of ex­ pression vouchsafed by a music-loving public. The elements making up the citizenship of Cincinnati were such as to introduce musical activity at a very early period. Musical programs, of one kind or another, were given as early as 1800, during which year a choral organization, made up of "those ladies and gentlemen who felt themselves disposed to organize a singing school," was established.
