Ravinia Festival June-September Chicago's 12-week festival of classical music, theater, and dance takes place in Highland Park, one of the city's northern suburbs. Although today the festival can boast performances by some of the world's most distinguished conductors, soloists, symphony orchestras, and dance companies, its history since 1904 has been punctuated by periodic financial crises and, in the 1940s, a fire that destroyed the Ravinia Park pavilion. But since that time the festival has rebounded, expanding to include pop, jazz, and folk music as well as several weeks of theater performances. Nearly half a million people attend the festival each year. CONTACTS: Ravinia Festival P.O.

No references found | Last summer, when the Joffrey Ballet performed on the vast outdoor stage of the Ravinia Festival near Chicago, April Daly had her moment. The Moscow Virtuosi Chamber Orchestra was founded in 1979 by Vladimir Spivakov, one of the most famous violinists of our days, after his debut as conductor with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival. Among her many past performances are the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, Munich Opera House and a week of recitals at the Edinburgh Festival as a winner of the Royal Overseas League competition. |
