CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and Music and Event Management, Inc. announced Thursday the new name of a music and entertainment center set to open in Cincinnati in 2027.

Thanks to a $60 million gift from the Farmer Family Foundation, it will be named the "The Farmer Music Center," a news release states.

The Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra said the donation marks the largest philanthropic commitment to the areas in recent Cincinnati history. The center is expected to generate $82 million in annual economic impact, draw more tourism and create hundreds of jobs.

“Music and live entertainment have long played an important role in bringing people together,” said Scott Farmer, executive chairman of Cintas Corporation and Trustee with the Farmer Family Foundation, in the release. “It energizes communities, creates shared experiences and drives meaningful economic impact. We’re proud to support the creation of The Farmer Music Center to enhance the quality of life and serve as a catalyst for growth and connection across the region.”

The center will have a "cutting-edge vertical design" that will offer 8,000 reserved seats, a 12,000-capacity general admission lawn, upgraded amenities and 300,000 square feet of concourse and new club space.

“We are extremely grateful to the Farmer Family Foundation and all the donors and supporters of this project,” said Mike Smith, CEO of MEMI, in a release. “The Farmer Music Center is more than a music venue — it is a promise to attract and present world-class entertainment and deliver unforgettable live music experiences to Cincinnati and the Tri-State.”

Additionally, the venue is expected to generate at least $15 million in city tax revenues and $7 million in state tax revenues, according to the release, which officials said will help the city's economic outlook.
