Introduction and homepage of the Society for the Preservation of Music Hall

Remembering Patricia Corbett, long-time arts patron, Music Hall supporter and philanthropist.

Mrs. Corbett and her husband, J. Ralph Corbett, were generous benefactors, supporting arts organizations and individuals in Cincinnati.

When honoring her as a Great Living Cincinnatian in 1994, the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber called Mrs. Corbett a "Renaissance woman" who touched many lives through her work in the performing arts, architecture, education, and medicine.
