CSO COMMUNITY CONCERT
On September
24, at 7:00 p.m., Muti and the CSO return to Lane Tech College Prep
High School (2501 W. Addison) for a Community Concert. Muti and the Orchestra
first performed together at Lane Tech for a Community Concert in November 2017 with
a program featuring the music of Schubert and Brahms. This year’s all-Prokofiev
program features a Suite from Prokofiev’s Romeo
and Juliet and Symphony No. 3, a program that will also be performed
by
Muti and the CSO at New York’s Carnegie Hall on November 16 and in the
opening concert of the January 2020 European Tour in Cologne.
Lane Tech College Prep High School is one of seven Chicago Public School (CPS)
Instrumental Music Partner schools supported by the Negaunee Music Institute at
the CSO. Each year, students and teachers from CPS Instrumental Music Partner
schools participate in educational activities with Chicago Symphony Orchestra
and Civic Orchestra of Chicago musicians through their orchestra and band
programs.
This year’s Community Concert marks
the 10th event of its kind since the beginning of Muti’s tenure as music
director in 2010, when he led a concert at the Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium
Park for an audience of more than 25,000 people. Muti’s commitment to connect
all Chicagoans with the CSO has led to return performances in Millennium Park,
as well as in other community venues such as Lane Tech College Prep High School
in Chicago’s Roscoe Village neighborhood, Morton East High School in Cicero and
the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago’s Woodlawn neighborhood.
