More information on Symphony Center-Chicago Symphony Orchestra
The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is considered among the best in the world -- a legacy of the late maestro Sir Georg Solti, who captured a record-breaking 31 Grammy awards for his CSO recordings and showcased the orchestra at other major musical capitals during frequent international tours. Current musical director Daniel Barenboim -- a talented conductor and piano prodigy whom the CSO recruited from the Orchestre de Paris after Solti's death in 1997 -- proved a worthy successor (Barenboim will be leaving at the end of the 2006 season). Staking out his own legacy in the renovated and expanded Symphony Center complex, he introduced more modern works by 20th-century composers into the orchestra's repertoire. But the CSO's treatment of crowd-pleasing Beethoven or Brahms certainly will not disappoint.Classical is far from the only kind of music here. The "Symphony Center Presents" series has included some of the top jazz, world beat, Latin, and cabaret artists in the world in recent years.Although demand is high, good seats for all concerts often become available on concert days. Call Symphony Center or stop by the box office to check availability.Summertime visitors have an opportunity to hear a CSO performance at the delightful Ravinia Festival (tel. 847/266-5100) in suburban Highland Park, led by music director Christoph Eschenbach.The highly regarded Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the CSO's training orchestra since 1919, presents free programs at Orchestra Hall. The Chicago Symphony Chorus also performs there. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.
