Muti Conducts Mozart and Haydn
Chicago Symphony Orchestra
Riccardo Muti leads the Orchestra in an intriguing survey of Mozart and Haydn symphonies, exploring the relationship between these two genius composers. Haydn’s Symphony No. 39 and Mozart’s Symphony No. 25 (recognizable as the opening music in the movie Amadeus) hail from the Sturm und Drang era, full of restless, angular melodies and pulsating, rhythmic drive.

Symphony Ball
Chicago Symphony Orchestra

The founding members of the new Women’s Board of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association are honored to premiere the Symphony Ball (formerly known as the Opening Night Gala), a festive gala evening of music and celebration to welcome Music Director Riccardo Muti to Chicago.

 

Muti’s inaugural Symphony Ball concert features Rossini’s effervescent William Tell Overture, the most popular opera overture of all time, plus Liszt’s larger-than-life symphonic poem Les préludes. Muti has also invited violin virtuoso Anne-Sophie Mutter, who will shine in Beethoven’s soaring Violin Concerto.

 

All Symphony Ball concert attendees are invited to a preconcert Prosecco Reception held throughout Symphony Center. Guests with Symphony Ball packages will enjoy postconcert cocktails, dinner and dancing under a tent at Millennium Park. Non-package purchasers will receive a postconcert celebration in Symphony Center.

 

Call the Symphony Ball hotline at (312) 294-3185 or email symphonyball@cso.org for more information and to order your gala package.
