Saint-Saens at Music Hall

In celebration of the re-opening of Cincinnati’s historic Music Hall after an extensive  renovation, Clef Notes is spending the month of October looking at many of the “big names” who have performed in the hall over the years. So far, we’ve mentioned Mstislav Rostropovich, Richard Strauss, Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, Sergei Rachmaninoff, and Igor Stravinsky.

Can you name another star who made an appearance in Music Hall during the early twentieth century? What about Camille Saint-Saens, who came to Cincinnati as conductor and soloist in his Second Piano Concerto in 1906?
