The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s home is one of the most acoustically perfect venues in town and sounds pitch-perfect across a range of musical styles. Read more

Outstandin orchestra and director, off-course. Great jazz program as well , infrequent jazz concerts though. Yet if you are lucky with the time of your visit - they are really good.

Erik Rowley

Beautiful architecture and concert hall . I saw movie master John Williams conduct here and it will be a memory I cherish forever. Dress up and bring a date, she'll love it.

Gallery seats are cheap and sound it’s great.

Love the CSO! Definitely one of the better orchestras in the US. The space was beautiful and cozy as well .

Andrew Mondt

When you're in the steeply raked seats do NOT lean forward! You block the sight lines of the paupers behind you in the nosebleed seats!

Giulio Stix

Pre concert lectures not to be missed!
