Company Description Company Description
Ravinia® is both North America's longest-running not-for-profit music festival and its most artistically diverse. Over 100 different events by a mix of classical, rock, pop, jazz, R&B, indie, and country performers make up a typical summer season on our two open-air and two indoor stages. Each year the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is featured in six weeks of concerts, many with Chief Conductor Marin Alsop. During the same summer months, the Ravinia Steans Music Institute provides young professional classical and jazz musicians with career-advancing training and concert settings.
Offstage and year-round, Ravinia's Reach Teach Play education programs engage 85,000 children and adults-in schools with little to no music curriculum, in our Chicagoland communities, and at our 36-acre park-in our mission to make music equitably accessible to all.
