Just two years ago, the Columbus Symphony Orchestra faced a $1.5 million deficit, with no operating reserves, no line of credit, and a negative cash flow and balance sheet.  Through a partnership with the Columbus Association for the Performing Arts (CAPA), the CSO now saves nearly $750,000 annually in administrative costs.  In 2010, the orchestra showed its first positive balance sheet since 2006 and for the past two seasons has finished in the black.
