Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Stravinsky's The Firebird and Debussy with Klaus Mäkelä

Klaus Mäkelä conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a program featuring Stravinsky's Firebird and works by Debussy. Mäkelä has been gaining significant attention for his interpretations of both contemporary and established orchestral repertoire, and his handling of these French and Russian impressionistic pieces should be a highlight. This is a chance to hear a respected conductor lead a world-class orchestra through some demanding and evocative music. This performance takes place on Saturday, August 7, 2027, at Ravinia in Highland Park. Ravinia offers an outdoor setting, allowing for a relaxed concert experience, often with lawn seating options. It’s a good fit for those who appreciate classical music in a casual summer environment.
