CSO Patrons Tour

CSO Patrons Tour

Since the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s earliest years, national and international tours have been an important part of its legacy. Patrons Tours offer special opportunities for the CSO’s dedicated supporters to attend the Orchestra’s touring performances, interact with musicians and sight-see in beautiful travel destinations.

This January, Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä leads the CSO on its 66th international tour with performances in spectacular concert halls throughout Europe. Patrons will visit Hamburg and Paris alongside the Orchestra for three concerts, featuring performances of Sibelius’ Seventh, Shostakovich’s Fourth and Mahler’s Ninth Symphonies. The tour also includes time in Berlin, where patrons will branch off from the Orchestra’s itinerary to enjoy the city’s rich history and renowned cultural institutions. Throughout the journey, travelers will stay in exceptional hotels, attend world class performances and enjoy special opportunities to mingle with CSO musicians. Exclusive, insider activities such as a private visit to Steinway’s piano workshop and a behind-the-scenes look at one of Paris’s distinguished design houses make this trip a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
