ABOUT THE ARTISTS

CINCINNATI SYMPHONY ORCHESTRAThe Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, led by Music Director Louis Langrée, is one of America’s finest and most versatile ensembles. With a rich tradition that dates back 125 years, the internationally acclaimed CSO attracts the best musicians, artists and conductors from around the world to Cincinnati. The CSO was the first American orchestra to make a world tour and continues to tour domestically and internationally, most recently to Asia and Europe in 2017. The CSO is Cincinnati’s own and committed to enhancing and expanding music education for the children of Greater Cincinnati, and it works to bring music education, in its many di�erent forms, to as broad a public as possible.

LOUIS LANGRÉEThe French conductor Louis Langrée has been Music Director of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra since 2013, and Music Director of the Mostly Mozart Festival at New York’s Lincoln Center since 2002. Langrée is a frequent collaborator with orchestras and opera houses including the Berliner, Wiener, London, and Czech philharmonics, Metropolitan Opera in New York, Vienna State Opera, and La Scala in Milan. RENÉE FLEMING, SOPRANOKnown to many as “the people’s diva,” American soprano Renée Fleming has cultivated a worldwide following for her work on the operatic stage, in concerts and recitals, on television and radio, in the recording industry, and as a champion of new music. The four-time Grammy winner is also a recipient of the NEA’s National Medal of Arts and Female Artist of the Year at the 2018 Classic Brit Awards. BEHZOD ABDURAIMOV, PIANOFrom London to Berlin to Sydney—and now to Cincinnati—pianist Behzod Abduraimov has performed with the world’s leading symphonic orches-tras. Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, Abduraimov began playing piano at age five as a pupil of Tamara Popovich. In 2009, he won First Prize at the London International Piano Competition and studied with Stanislav Ioudenitch at Park University International Center for Music where he is currently Artist-in-Residence.
