The Chicago Symphony Orchestra

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) is regarded as one of the finest in the world. Performances by the decidedly prestigious orchestra are not only in high demand at home, but all over the word. The addition of renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti on September 2010 is the CSO’s tenth music director. His vision for the Orchestra has created a new and exciting era for the CSO by elevating its engagement with the Chicago community, supporting a new generation of musicians, collaborating with visionary artists, and nurturing the legacy of this profound institution.
