Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery encourages people to embrace and experience new music because “you’re going to get something that you’ve never expected before.” Witness the world premiere of her piece Transfigure to Grace performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra with Music Director Riccardo Muti on May 11-16.

Muti, Montgomery & Rachmaninov 2: Tannhäuser Wagner,Richard (+2 More)

Rachmaninov’s Second Symphony marked a personal comeback after a debilitating crisis of confidence. In the spring of 2023, a century and a half after the composer’s birth, Riccardo Muti conducts this sumptuous score, along with a world premiere by Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery, who writes with “a Technicolor brilliance and harmonic plushness perfect for the CSO’s own heart-on-its-sleeve proclivities” (Chicago Tribune).

Explore the music in the free preconcert conversation featuring Laura Sauer-Shah in Orchestra Hall 75 minutes before the performance. The conversation will last approximately 30 minutes. No additional tickets are needed.
