STEP INTO A WORLD WHERE MUSIC LEAPS OFF THE PAGE
From Beethoven’s Eroica to Korngold’s The Sea Hawk and Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra brings stories to life through sound in its monumental 134th season.
As a thrilling new season begins, embark on a musical journey through the dazzling colors of Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony and into the idyllic landscapes of Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony, led by Christoph Eschenbach. Following their highly acclaimed Chicago debut in January 2024, Dutch brothers Lucas and Arthur Jussen join Eschenbach and the CSO for Mozart’s double piano concerto.
The Chicago Symphony Chorus shines along side a stellar lineup of soloists in Mozart’s Coronation Mass before the CSO closes out October with Strauss’ fantastical, symphonic interpretation of Don Quixote.
Throughout the season, the CSO presents masterpieces by Mozart, Mahler and Beethoven guided by world-renowned conductors,including Music Director Emeritus for Life Riccardo Muti, Esa-Pekka Salonen, Jaap van Zweden and Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä.
The Symphony Center Presents series offers ample opportunities to witness some of today’s most distinguished artists — including CSO Artist-in-Residence Daniil Trifonov, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Evgeny Kissin and more — in intimate chamber collaborations, stirring piano recitals and groundbreaking jazz performances.
The stage is set for a season filled with unforgettable moments and legendary performances — all that’s missing is you.
