Northern Trust is proud to support the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. For more than 130 years, we’ve been meeting our clients’ financial needs while nurturing a culture of caring and a commitment to invest in the communities we serve. Our goal is to find you perfect harmony.

TO LEARN MORE,

Welcome to Symphony Center, home of the great Chicago Symphony Orchestra. As one who has advo cated for the preservation of culture and championed music as a universal language all my life, nothing pleases me more than to see you at concerts before this orchestra that has given beauty and cultural enrichment to generations.

From start to finish, this season includes music of personal significance. When I first led the CSO, at the Ravinia Festival in 1973, it was in Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, a work we revisit this October. At that first con cert, the Orchestra made a profound impression on me, as I realized it was an ensemble without limits. I am grateful to the musicians of all the orches tras that I have conducted around the world, but the CSO is truly unique and continues to amaze me. The way the musicians have responded to my musi cal ideas and sense of family that we immediately created together is what inspired me to accept this prestigious commitment. We love each other very much, and the years have gone by very, very fast.

We close the season with Beethoven’s Missa solemnis, which I have often compared to Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel—not only for its monumentality but also as a symbol of our humanity approaching the divine. Perhaps it is more than a coincidence that my first score to Missa solemnis is dated 1973, the same year I was introduced to this great orchestra.

I look forward to all the music we will make together and to feeling your presence at concerts throughout the season.

Riccardo Muti Zell Music Director Chicago Symphony Orchestra

It is our pleasure to welcome you to Symphony Center for the opening weeks of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s 132nd season.Thisseason pays tribute to Riccardo Muti as we cele brate his artistry, which has profoundly moved audiences during his past twelve seasons as music director. During the week of concerts, Muti conducts the U.S. premiere of a rediscovered work by composer Samuel ColeridgeTaylor and marks his 500th concert with the CSO since his debut at the Ravinia Festival in 1973. The following week, Maestro Muti and the CSO mark seventy years since the death of Sergei Prokofiev, a composer who has a special history with the Orchestra, in performances of his Symphony no. 5. For his third subscription program, Muti conducts Franck’s Le chasseur maudit and Mussorgsky’s Pictures from an Exhibition, which he conducted on his debut concert with the CSO. Yefim Bronfman joins Muti and the CSO during the opening concerts and Symphony Ball, perform ing as soloist in Brahms’s Piano Concerto no. 1 and Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 22, respectively.Thisfall,theCSO is joined by esteemed guest conductors including Constantine Kitsopoulos, Christian Thielemann, Xian Zhang, Edward Gardner, Harry Bicket, and Manfred Honeck. Violinist Christian Tetzlaff, pianist Simon Trpčeski, and cellist Gautier Capuçon are featured soloists. In October, there are four performances of the 1984 Academy Award–winning film Amadeus with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and we are pleased to welcome the Joffrey Ballet to Orchestra Hall for three performances, including the world premieres of two ballets. In addition, the CSO returns to Wheaton College in November. Marking both the start of the twenty-fifth season of CSO MusicNOW and its return to Symphony Center, Mead Composer-in-Residence Jessie Montgomery and musicians from the CSO perform two concerts of contemporary works this fall.

The Symphony Center Presents season opens its Jazz series with pianist and composer Chucho Valdés in La Creación (The Creation), an SCP co-commission for big band, Afro-Cuban percussion, and vocals. Next, violinist Midori and pia nist Jean-Yves Thibaudet perform a duo recital to begin the SCP Chamber Music series, while David Fray launches the SCP Piano series with works by Schubert and Liszt. A highlight of the season is the return of the Berliner Philharmoniker, conducted by Kirill Petrenko, for its first appearance in Chicago since 2009. We look forward to seeing you at many concerts in the season ahead and remain grateful for your support of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association.

Susan Synnestvedt Violin

“Like no other conductor I’ve worked with, Maestro Muti has an incredible ability to show us with his conducting exactly what we need when we need it. He doesn’t waste gestures when we’re in a groove, but we can always count on his help through difficult transitions or while performing unfamiliar pieces.”

What is it like to be conducted by Riccardo Muti? To answer this, members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra would argue they have the best seat in the house.

As part of an ongoing series, CSO musicians reflect on the artistry, experience, and myriad qualities Riccardo Muti has contributed since becoming music director in 2010. Here, musicians share insights on aspects of their unique artistic partnership with the maestro and his remarkable style of leadership on and off the podium.

“ The Muti/CSO partnership has certainly blossomed over time, but an extraordinary magical musical connection was obvious on day one.”

Daniel Gingrich Associate Principal Horn

“As a member of the CSO woodwind section, I want to shed light on a wonderful fact. Maestro Muti has appointed many of us—all of the principal winds as well as section members— and because of his love and commitment to the ever-growing talent of this orchestra, he leaves us with a great sense of pride as we will always strive to be one of the greatest orchestras in the world. His trust in us speaks volumes to his legacy and his incredible dedication to choosing great musicians to carry the torch for generations to come.”

Stephen Williamson Principal Clarinet

“Maestro Muti is the most trusted conductor that we collaborate with because he is always prepared, knowing what he is asking us to do, and how to gesture to get the desired outcome. He also expects the best of us in rehearsal and concert.”

Mark Ridenour Assistant Principal Trumpet

“ We are very sensitive to his gestures and facial expressions. From the moment he walks onto the podium, we have a sense of how the performance might go, but with us, he always becomes calm, content, and energetic. His mood gets lighter during the concert, although he’s tough when he hears or sees something that should not happen. We like to please his good taste.”

Mihaela Ionescu Violin

“Maestro Muti tenaciously insists on constantly deepening our dedication to artistic discipline and refinement. Dolce, cantabile, and sostenuto are integral elements of a truly great ensemble that keep the CSO in the vanguard of the world’s elite symphony orchestras.”

Michael Mulcahy Trombone

“Maestro Muti‘s consistent drive for excellence and the highest standard of music coincide with generosity, humanity,hisand true love and care for the members of the Chicago Symphony and their families. One of the things that has impressed me about Maestro Muti beyond his capabilities and expertise on the podium is his kindness and compassion as a human being and family man. From the time he started and his wife Cristina bounced my eighteenmonth-old on her lap, he has consistently inquired, ‘How are the bambini?,’ wanting to know if they’re coming to concerts and for them to come and say, ‘hello.’

”

Wendy Koons Meir Violin

“His unique personality has been the perfect match, in addition to his exquisite conducting and inspirational leadership of one of the most iconic orchestras in the world. I feel extremely lucky to be able to share the stage with him and to learn from his unique spirit. Without any doubt, he will always be ‘The Maestro’ for me.”

“Maestro Muti quickly realized that his musicians not only understood him but also greatly appreciated his musicianship, and hence were open to his leadership. This has resulted in growth in the performance level of the Orchestra. Now we can quickly understand the musical language of composers from Mozart to Verdi to Varèse.”

“I joined the Chicago Symphony in 1962 and have had the immense honor and privilege of performing under some of the world’s most brilliant and acclaimed conductors. It is my humble opinion that Maestro Muti is ‘NONPAREIL.’ Maestro Muti’s extraordinary combination of musicianship, humanity, and artistic vision makes every concert he conducts a truly remarkable occasion. He has taken the Orchestra to new heights and has given the city of Chicago an invaluable gift.”

Lynne Turner Harp

“Maestro Muti has come to enjoy friendships with each member of the Orchestra. These are friendships based on the joy of making music together. We collaborate with him in the most collegial manner. He loves being with all musicians, sharing stories and experiences that enhance our relationship to him.”

“He genuinely cares about doing justice to this music, getting to the depth of it rather than just an on-the-surface, generic interpretation. That is really inspiring to see and to be a part of.”

Il viaggio a Reims Overture

We now know that this is not the overture to Rossini’s Il viaggio a Reims (The Journey to Reims). In fact, there is no overture to that score. But when Richard Strauss, the formidable composer whose most famous operas are on the surface so unlike Rossini’s, conducted the premiere of this orchestral piece at the Teatro alla Scala, the great opera house in Milan, in 1938, the complete score to Il viaggio a Reims had long been lost. This overture was welcomed as the only surviving part of an import ant Rossini work.

The story of the missing score to Il viaggio a Reims, the unex pected surfacing of this overture, and the piecemeal rediscov ery and reassembly of Rossini’s manuscript is long, complex, and still somewhat mysterious. The original three-act work, commissioned to cele brate the coronation of King Charles X of France, was first performed in Paris in June 1825, with a large and distinguished cast (there are fourteen roles, and the celebrated Giuditta Pasta sang the impressive soprano part of Corinna, a Roman poetess). Contemporary reviews mentioned that there was no overture.

But in 1938, this overture was published in Milan as the Gran sinfonia to Il viaggio a Reims. There was no reason, at the time, to suspect it was not. When the original manuscript materials for Il viaggio a Reims began surfacing in the 1970s, they did not include this overture or any other. By then, however, the over ture had become a beloved (if only rarely performed) part of the orchestral repertoire.

out not to be based on a theme by Haydn, mistaken identity has never interfered with the popularity of this brilliant overture. Whatever the cir cumstances of its genesis, which Rossini scholars are still puzzling over, the overture is part of the great extended family of Rossiniana in the way it takes as its thematic material a set of dances Rossini wrote for Le siège de Corinthe (The Siege of Corinth), his first French opera, of

wolfgang mozart

1826. It remains one of the most stirring examples of the great Rossini overture style, from its broad majestic opening with its arching wind melodies to the dancing Allegretto moderato and surefire conclusion.

A footnote: After conducting the premiere of this overture in 1938, Strauss apparently could not shake the spell of the Rossini style: in his next opera, Capriccio, written in 1941, he quotes a few measures from the overture to Rossini’s L’italiana in Algeri (The Italian Girl in Algiers).

Symphony No. 39 in E-flat Major, K. 543

Ironically, it’s Mozart’s last three symphonies rather than the famous requiem that remain the mystery of his final years. Almost as soon as Mozart died, romantic myth attached itself to the unfinished pages of the requiem left scattered on his bed; a host of questions—who commis sioned the work?; who finished it?; was Mozart poisoned?—inspired painters, novelists, biogra phers, librettists, playwrights, and screenwriters to heights of imaginative re-creation. We now know those answers: the requiem is unfinished, but not unexplained.

The final symphonies, on the other hand— no. 39 in E-flat, the “great” G minor (no. 40), and the Jupiter (no. 41)—continue to beg more ques tions than we can answer. Even what was once the most provocative fact about these works— that Mozart never heard them—is now doubtful.

We no longer believe that Mozart wrote these three great symphonies for the drawer alone— that goes against all we know of his working methods. But we don’t know what orchestra or occasion he had in mind. Apparently, a series of subscription concerts was planned for the sum mer of 1788, when Mozart entered the three sym phonies in his catalog, but there’s no evidence that the performances took place. It’s likely that the works were conceived as a trilogy, with pub lication in mind (symphonies often were printed in groups of three), but they weren’t published during Mozart’s lifetime.

Did Mozart ever hear them? Even if the pro jected subscription series of 1788 never took place, Mozart did tour Germany the following year, conducting concerts for which we have only sketchy details. “A Symphony,” for example, was advertised for the program at the Leipzig Gewandhaus on May 12. And back home in Vienna, no less a musical big shot than Antonio Salieri conducted concerts on April 16 and 17,

1791, featuring a “grand sym phony” by Mozart. The fact that the G minor symphony exists in two versions—with and without clarinets—argues that Mozart revised the score for a specific performance.

The Symphony no. 39 in E-flat major is the least studied and performed of the three sympho nies, and that in itself is some thing of a puzzle, for it is no less a masterwork. It doesn’t, however, have the tragic romanticism of the G minor symphony or the magnificent heroics that earned the C major its nickname, the Jupiter. In the nineteenth century, when only the most dramatic of Mozart’s works remained in the repertory, the E-flat symphony had no story to tell. Its hall marks are purely musical—difficult to pinpoint or explain—and it’s a work of considerable understatement.

There’s nothing in the first movement that doesn’t fit the textbook model of classical sonata form. Even the large slow introduction, which Mozart rarely uses in his symphonies, is a standard feature of Haydn’s output at the same time. But listen to the way Mozart’s introduction—exalted and grand, with stately dotted rhythms and rich chromati cism—sweeps almost imperceptibly into the lovely, singing main Allegro (Charles Rosen, the late scholar of classical style, pointed out that the melody of the Allegro literally extends the unfinished cadence of the introduction). The effect is subtle and very modern—almost cinematic in the seamless merging from one scene to another—and the point was not lost on Beethoven, who spent much of his career perfecting the art of transition. Mozart’s Allegro, beginning with a thread of sound and building to a point of high intensity, is made of strong and bold materials, unostentatiously used.

The Andante is a marvel of sustained eloquence, capped by moments of great power and passion that are all the more remarkable in music of such spare, chamber-music textures. The third movement is one of Mozart’s most celebrated min uets, complete with a trio introduced by clarinets and based, for once, on a real rather than an imaginary ländler. The finale, in perpetual motion and colored by pervasive humor, is built entirely from one theme, and although Mozart pretends that his “second theme” is new, it is in fact merely a clever makeover of the first.

Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, Op. 100

Sergei Prokofiev spent the summer of 1944 at a large country estate provided by the Union of Soviet Composers as a refuge from the war and as a kind of think tank. Prokofiev arrived early in the summer and found that his colleagues included Glière, Shostakovich, Kabalevsky, Khachaturian, and Miaskovsky—summer camp for the most distinguished Soviet composers of the time.

Although Ivanovo, as the retreat was called, often was referred to as a rest home, there was little leisure once Prokofiev moved in. He maintained a rigorous daily schedule— as he had all his life—and began to impose it on the others as well. “The regularity with which he worked amazed us all,” Khachaturian later recalled. Prokofiev ate breakfast, marched to his studio to compose, and scheduled his walks and tennis games by the clock. In the evening, he insisted the compos ers all get together to compare notes, literally. Prokofiev was delighted, and clearly not surprised, that he usually had the most to show for his day’s work.

It was a particularly productive summer for Prokofiev— he composed both his Eighth Piano Sonata and the Fifth Symphony before he returned to Moscow. The sonata is prime Prokofiev and often played, but the symphony is perhaps the best known and most regularly performed of all his works. It had been fifteen years since Prokofiev’s last symphony, and both that symphony and the one preceding it had been by prod ucts of theater pieces: the Third Symphony is musically related to the opera The Flaming Angel, and the Fourth to the ballet The Prodigal Son. Not since his Second Symphony, completed in 1925, had Prokofiev composed a purely abstract symphony, or one that he began from scratch.

Although it was written at the height of the war, Prokofiev’s Fifth Symphony isn’t a wartime symphony in the traditional sense—not in the vivid and descriptive manner of Shostakovich’s Seventh, composed during the siege of Leningrad and writ ten, in Carl Sandburg’s words, “with the heart’s blood”—or his Eighth, which coolly contemplates the horrors of war. (Those two scores date from 1941 and 1943, shortly before Prokofiev

began this work.) Prokofiev’s Symphony no. 5 is intended to glorify the human spirit—“praising the free and happy man—his strength, his gener osity, and the purity of his soul.” In its own way, this outlook makes it an even greater product of the war, because it was designed to uplift and console the Soviet people. “I cannot say I chose this theme,” Prokofiev wrote. “It was born in me and had to express itself.” Nonetheless, such optimistic and victorious music cheered the Russian authorities; it might well have been made to order. In his 1946 autobiography, Prokofiev writes: “It is the duty of the composer, like the poet, the sculptor, or the painter, to serve the rest of humanity, to beautify human life, and to point the way to a radiant future. Such is the immutable code of art as I see it.” It also was the code of art Soviet composers were expected to embrace during the war, but Prokofiev couldn’t have writ ten a work as powerful and convincing as his Fifth Symphony if he didn’t truly believe those words.

The Fifth Symphony would inevitably be known as a victory celebration. Just before the first performance, which Prokofiev conducted, word reached Moscow that the Russian army had scored a decisive victory on the Vistula River. As Prokofiev raised his baton, the sound of cannon was heard from the distance. Buoyed by both the news and the triumphant tone of the music, the premiere was a great success. It was the last time Prokofiev conducted in public. Three weeks later he had a mild heart attack, fell down the stairs in his apartment, and suffered a slight concussion.

Although he recovered his spirits—and eventu ally his strength and creative powers as well— Prokofiev continued to feel the effects of the accident for the remaining eight years of his life.

The first movement of the Fifth Symphony is intense and dramatic, but neither aggressive nor violent, like much of the music written at the time. It’s moderately paced (Prokofiev writes andante) and broadly lyrical throughout. The scherzo, in contrast, is quick and insistent, touched by a sense of humor that sometimes reveals a sharp, cutting edge. The third movement is lyrical and brooding, like much of Prokofiev’s finest slow music. After a brief and sober introduction, the finale points decisively toward a radiant future.

Phillip Huscher has been the program annotator for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra since 1987.

Robert N. Reiland is remembered with gratitude by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association for his generosity as a Theodore Thomas Society member, donor, and dedicated concert patron. Tribute gifts in support of the CSO have been received from Ann Reiland and Eloise Hirschey, who, with other family and friends, lovingly honor Bob’s memory during these performances.

Riccardo Muti Conductor

Riccardo Muti is one of the world’s preeminent conduc tors. In 2010, he became the tenth music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Muti’s leadership has been distinguished by the strength of his artistic partnership with the Orchestra; his dedication to performing great works of the past and present, including thirteen world premieres to date; the enthusiastic reception he and the CSO have received on national and international tours; and eight recordings on the CSO Resound label, with three Grammy awards among them. In addition, his contributions to the cultural life of Chicago— with performances throughout its many neigh borhoods and at Orchestra Hall—have made a lasting impact on the city.

Born in Naples, Riccardo Muti studied piano under Vincenzo Vitale at the Conservatory of San Pietro a Majella, graduating with distinction. He subsequently received a diploma in compo sition and conducting from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan under the guidance of Bruno Bettinelli and Antonino Votto.

He first came to the attention of critics and the public in 1967, when he won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition, by unanimous vote of the jury, in Milan. In 1968, he became principal conductor of the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, a position he held until 1980. In 1971, Muti was invited by Herbert von Karajan to conduct at the Salzburg Festival, the first of many occasions, which led to a celebration of fifty years of artistic collaboration with the Austrian festival in 2020. During the 1970s, Muti was chief conductor of London’s Philharmonia Orchestra (1972–1982), succeeding Otto Klemperer. From 1980 to 1992, he inherited the position of music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra from Eugene Ormandy.

From 1986 to 2005, he was music director of Teatro alla Scala, and during that time, he directed major projects such as the three

Mozart/Da Ponte operas and Wagner’s Ring cycle in addition to his exceptional contribu tions to the Verdi repertoire. His tenure as music director of Teatro alla Scala, the longest in its history, culminated in the triumphant reopen ing of the restored opera house on December 7, 2004, with Salieri’s Europa riconosciuta.

Over the course of his extraordinary career, Riccardo Muti has conducted the most import ant orchestras in the world: from the Berlin Philharmonic to the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and from the New York Philharmonic to the Orchestre National de France; as well as the Vienna Philharmonic, an orchestra to which he is linked by particularly close and important ties, and with which he has appeared at the Salzburg Festival since 1971. When Muti was invited to lead the Vienna Philharmonic’s 150th-anniversary concert, the orchestra pre sented him with the Golden Ring, a special sign of esteem and affection, awarded only to a few select conductors. In 2021, he conducted the Vienna Philharmonic in the New Year’s Concert for the sixth time.

Muti has received numerous international honors over the course of his career. He is Cavaliere di Gran Croce of the Italian Republic and a recipient of the German Verdienstkreuz. He received the decoration of Officer of the Legion of Honor from French President Nicolas Sarkozy. He was made an honorary Knight Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. The Salzburg Mozarteum awarded him its silver medal for his contribution to Mozart’s music, and in Vienna, he was elected an honorary member of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna Hofmusikkapelle, and Vienna State Opera. The State of Israel has hon ored him with the Wolf Prize in the arts. In July 2018, President Petro Poroshenko presented Muti with the State Award of Ukraine during the Roads of Friendship concert at the Ravenna Festival in Italy following earlier performances in Kiev. In October 2018, Muti received the prestigious Praemium Imperiale for Music of the Japan Arts Association in Tokyo. TODD

In September 2010, Riccardo Muti became music director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and was named 2010 Musician of the Year by Musical America. In 2011, Muti was selected as the recipient of the coveted Birgit Nilsson Prize. In 2011, he received the Opera News Award in New York City and Spain’s presti gious Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts. That summer, he was named an honorary member of the Vienna Philharmonic and honorary director for life of the Rome Opera. In May 2012, he was awarded the highest papal honor: the Knight of the Grand Cross First Class of the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope Benedict XVI. In 2016, he was honored by the Japanese govern ment with the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold and Silver Star. On August 15, 2021, Muti received the Great Golden Decoration of Honor for Services to the Republic of Austria, the highest possible civilian honor from the Austrian government.

Passionate about teaching young musi cians, Muti founded the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra in 2004 and the Riccardo Muti Italian Opera Academy in 2015. The purpose of the Italian Opera Academy—which takes place in Italy, as well as in Japan since 2019 as part of a multi-year collaboration with the Tokyo Spring Festival—is to pass on Muti’s expertise to young musicians and to foster a better understanding of the complex journey to the realization of an opera. Through Le vie dell’Amicizia (The Roads of Friendship), a project of the Ravenna Festival in Italy, he has conducted in many of the world’s most troubled areas in order to bring attention to civic and social issues. The label RMMUSIC is responsible for Riccardo Muti’s recordings.

Summer Concerts and Special Honors

On July 11 and 14, Riccardo Muti conducted concerts at two of Europe’s most significant holy sites, the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes in France and the Basilica of the Holy House of Loreto in Italy, places of pilgrimage for millions each year seeking healing at shrines to the Virgin Mary.

These performances—part of the Roads of Friendship, an annual project of the Ravenna Festival that has brought the healing power of music to symbolic locations every year since 1997—were dedicated to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, the city of Mary, and the victims of all wars. The concert in Loreto began with a special greeting sent by Pope Francis followed by a speech from Yaroslav Melnyk, the Ukrainian ambassador to the Italian Republic, who presented Muti with an award as a foreign member of the Ukrainian National Academy of the Arts.

Following these concerts, Muti and the Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra launched a five-concert tour that began at Slovenia’s Ljubljana Festival. On July 25, between concerts in Bari and Ravello, he received the 2022 Premio Segreti d’Autore (Author’s Secrets Prize) in honor of his commitment to young musicians.

Muti’s highly anticipated annual concerts at the Salzburg Festival with the Vienna Philharmonic, August 14–16, opened with Tchaikovsky’s Symphony no. 6 followed by Liszt’s From the Cradle to the Grave and Boito’s Prologue to Mefistofele. The headlines in the Salzburger Nachtrichten described Muti’s concerts as “a bedrock of the Salzburg summer and indispensable, too.”

On Tuesday, August 30, on the island of Capri, Muti received the Twenty-seventh Faraglioni Prize for his lifelong contributions to music and culture. Presented by the mayor of Capri, the distinguished Faraglioni Prize is a silver sculpture depicting the famous rock formations on the island’s southern coast.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is grateful to Bank of America for its generous support as the Maestro Residency Presenter.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras, and in September 2010, renowned Italian conduc tor Riccardo Muti became its tenth music director. During his tenure, the Orchestra has deepened its engagement with the Chicago community, nur tured its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians and composers, and collaborated with visionary artists.

The history of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra began in 1889, when Theodore Thomas, then the leading conductor in America and a recognized music pioneer, was invited by Chicago businessman Charles Norman Fay to establish a symphony orchestra here. Thomas’s aim to build a permanent orchestra with performance capabilities of the highest quality was realized at the first concerts in October 1891 in the Auditorium Theatre. Thomas served as music director until his death in January 1905—just three weeks after the dedication of Orchestra Hall, the Orchestra’s per manent home designed by Daniel Burnham.

Frederick Stock, recruited by Thomas to the viola section in 1895, became assistant conductor in 1899 and succeeded the Orchestra’s founder. His tenure lasted thirty-seven years, from 1905 to 1942—the longest of the Orchestra’s music directors. Dynamic and innovative, the Stock years saw the founding of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the first training orchestra in the United States affiliated with a major symphony orchestra, in 1919. Stock also established youth auditions, organized the first subscription concerts especially for children, and began a series of popularThreeconcerts.eminent conductors headed the Orchestra during the following decade: Désiré Defauw was music director from 1943 to 1947, Artur Rodzinski assumed the post in 1947–48, and Rafael Kubelík led the ensemble for three seasons from 1950 to 1953. The next ten years belonged to Fritz Reiner, whose recordings with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra are still considered performance hallmarks. It was Reiner who invited Margaret Hillis to form the Chicago Symphony Chorus in 1957. For the five seasons from 1963 to 1968, Jean Martinon held the position of music director.

Sir Georg Solti, the Orchestra’s eighth music director, served from 1969 until 1991. His arrival launched one of the most successful musical partner ships of our time, and the CSO made its first overseas tour to Europe in 1971 under his direction, along with numerous award-winning recordings. Solti then held

the title of music director laureate and returned to conduct the Orchestra for several weeks each season until his death in September 1997.

Daniel Barenboim was named music director des ignate in January 1989, and he became the Orchestra’s ninth music director in September 1991, a position he held until June 2006. His tenure was distinguished by the opening of Symphony Center in 1997, highly praised operatic productions at Orchestra Hall, numerous appearances with the Orchestra in the dual role of pianist and conductor, twenty-one interna tional tours, and the appointment of Duain Wolfe as the Chorus’s second director.

Pierre Boulez’s long-standing relationship with the Orchestra led to his appointment as principal guest conductor in 1995. He was named Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus in 2006, a position he held until his death in January 2016. Only two others have served as principal guest conductors: Carlo Maria Giulini, who appeared in Chicago regularly in the late 1950s, was named to the post in 1969, serving until 1972; Claudio Abbado held the position from 1982 to 1985. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink was the Orchestra’s first principal conductor. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma served as the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant from 2010 to 2019. Hilary Hahn became the CSO’s first Artist-in-Residence in 2021, a role that brings her to Chicago for multiple residencies eachJessieseason.Montgomery was appointed Mead Composer-in-Residence in 2021. She follows ten highly regarded composers in this role, including John Corigliano and Shulamit Ran—both winners of the Pulitzer Prize for Music. In addition to composing works for the CSO, Montgomery curates the contem porary MusicNOW series.

The Orchestra first performed at Ravinia Park in 1905 and appeared frequently through August 1931, after which the park was closed for most of the Great Depression. In August 1936, the Orchestra helped to inaugurate the first season of the Ravinia Festival, and it has been in residence nearly every summer since.

Since 1916, recording has been a significant part of the Orchestra’s activities. Releases on CSO Resound, the Orchestra’s independent recording label, include the Grammy Award–winning release of Verdi’s Requiem led by Riccardo Muti. Recordings by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have earned sixty-three Grammy awards from the Recording Academy.
