SOUND DISCOVERIES: MUSIC FOR THE COMMUNITY addresses educational issues outside the classroom. Music for the Community builds on the CSO's proud tradition of community engagement and supports appropriate not-for-profit organizations with services and collaborations such as:

• Guest speakers for career days, special music programs or camps
• Mentors for students or programs
• Soloists, coaches or conductors for school/community performing organizations

2008 Classical Roots: Spiritual Heights Concerts

The CSO's tradition of great music extends beyond Music Hall in Classical Roots: Spiritual Heights Concerts. This initiative takes members of the CSO to a variety of venues in the tri-state region. In addition, Classical Roots activities have brought African-American and Latino string students from area schools to Music Hall for career development workshops. Classical Roots concerts and activities aim to serve the community in non-traditional ways and create bridges between the CSO and the neighborhoods of Greater Cincinnati.
