The family of Sir Andrew Davis and the Lyric Opera of Chicago family invite you to join us on Saturday, February 15, 2025 at 7:30 p.m. for a concert celebrating our renowned music director, leader, and friend, who spent more than three decades making moving and joyful music for Chicago audiences.

Sir Andrew (February 2, 1944 - April 20, 2024) had an illustrious career that spanned the globe, and we were fortunate that he chose Chicago as his home. Having made his Lyric debut in 1987, Sir Andrew served as music director and principal conductor of Lyric from 2000 to 2021, leading nearly 700 performances of 62 operas by 22 different composers.

Join us for a musical tribute event featuring the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra and Chorus, members of The Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center, and special guests Elizabeth DeShong, Christine Goerke, Susan Graham, John Relyea, Stuart Skelton, and Christian Van Horn, all of whom worked closely with Sir Andrew during his career. Music Director Enrique Mazzola and Maestro Francesco Milioto conduct this program featuring music by beloved composers associated with Sir Andrew, as well as an orchestral piece written for the occasion by his son, composer Ed Frazier Davis.
