“The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association not only balanced its books for the first time in four years, as it had projected, but also ended the 2007 fiscal year with a surplus of $113,000 on a $58 million operating budget. [The CSO] also reported a 4 percent increase in donations to its annual fund for a total of $18.6 million, and an increase in ticket sales as well, exceeding 85 percent paid capacity in Orchestra Hall for the second consecutive season.”
