FPO

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is an artistic force that cannot be ignored.

The collective experience of its musicians and their endless pursuit of excellence make it one of the most exciting ensembles in the world and a unique voice in the cultural landscape. The Orchestra’s members take its rich legacy to heart while exemplifying the creative possibilities of a modern ensemble eager to explore contemporary music and offer fresh interpretations of the classics.

Join us for the 133rd season, which celebrates what is possible when great talents unite.

The 2023/24 Season offers plenty of opportunities to hear the CSO in programs spanning repertoire from five different centuries and representing a broad range of compositional voices. From the great symphonists — Beethoven, Brahms, Bruckner, Mahler, Nielsen, Shostakovich, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky — to musical storytellers such as Holst, Ravel, Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Stravinsky and Wagner, the composers featured this season display the communicative range of this revered orchestra.

At the heart of the season are the musicians, who synergize to create the singular CSO. Their music-making unites us and, in turn, brings us together, as one.

Whether you are craving stimulation, community, inspiration, novelty or the comfort of music dear to you, you are invited to surrender to an experience you can’t get anywhere else.
