Chicago Philharmonic Orchestra

Named "Orchestra of the Year" by the Illinois Council of Orchestras, the Chicago Philharmonic will begin its 20th season (2009-2010) at Northwestern University's Pick-Staiger Hall in Evanston. Proud of its heritage as the former Symphony II, the orchestra carries on this tradition of excellence. The Chicago Philharmonic has won many accolades from music critics and audiences alike.  In the upcoming season the orchestra will continue its mission to offer exceptional music at a reasonable price.

For a relatively young orchestra, The Chicago Philharmonic has singular strengths:  Many of its members are drawn from Lyric Opera’s orchestra and therefore have been meticulously screened for some of the country’s most coveted positions. Other members are proven top-flight career musicians from the Chicago metropolitan area. The orchestra’s cadre of seasoned professional musicians have performed together over many years developing a special ensemble virtuosity that thrills the listener. The orchestra has featured world-renowned conductors such as Zubin Mehta, Sir Andrew Davis and Jesus Lopez-Cobos, and distinguished guest artists such as John Browning, Jorge Osorio and Sharon Isbin.

Chicago Philharmonic musicians also perform at Ravinia in the Ravinia Festival Orchestra, in the American Ballet Theatre and in the Grant Park Symphony Orchestra.  In addition, the Chicago Philharmonic is the orchestra selected to perform with the acclaimed Apollo Chorus of Chicago; the beloved Salute to Vienna at Symphony Center; and the organizational team-building initiative, The Music Paradigm.
