25/26 Staff Picks

The 2025/26 seasons of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Symphony Center Presents start in a few months, and members of the Sales and Patron Experience/Services team are here to help. They recommend their can’t-miss concerts for next season, ranging from Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä's residencies to roots-music master Chris Thile to mezzo soprano Joyce DiDonato, the CSO's 2025/26 Artist-in-Residence.
