Editorial: Philanthropy raises sounds of BSO - Examiner.com: "BALTIMORE - Listen up, people! Literally. PNC Foundation and The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra just put a galaxy of fantastic music within the reach of all.

A $1 million grant from the foundation, a charitable arm of The PNC Financial Services Group, cuts ticket prices at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall to $25.

This is a fitting tribute to the Meyerhoff’s 25th anniversary and inaugural season of new music director Marin Alsop. It’s an appropriate hello from Pittsburgh-based PNC, which Tuesday merged with Baltimore-based Mercantile Bankshares."
