Celebrate the start of a new season with Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Symphony Ball, an unforgettable red-carpet evening complete with a champagne toast. The “astoundingly virtuosic and blazingly insightful” (The Guardian) Leonidas Kavakos joins the CSO in Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto. Instrumental selections from Italian operas conclude the concert, underscoring the Chicago Tribune’s assertion that “no living conductor knows more about these scores” than Riccardo Muti.
