With Christopher Bell decked in red, white, and blue, the Grant Park Orchestra presents Leonard Bernstein, John Williams, John Philip Sousa, and the ever-popular Armed Forces Salute in a glorious summer tradition.
Another packed summer of live music awaits.
Michelle Cann returns to Pritzker Pavilion as soloist in George Gershwin’s dazzling Rhapsody in Blue.
The Grant Park Music Festival today announced its return to live music in a 2021 season, the festival’s first live performances since August 2019.
Just because we can’t gather in person, it doesn’t mean the weekend won’t be fun and music-filled! Here are nine musical events (most of them virtual), that will provide a great soundtrack for your celebrations.
Each year, Christopher Bell conducts the Grant Park Music Festival’s Independence Day Salute, and each year, he finds a way to wow us with an extraordinary new star-spangled outfit.
All Grant Park Music Festival concerts are free. WFMT will have several live broadcasts from the festival, including opening night and the Beethoven Ninth concerts. See a full listing of performances.
