Muti, Welter and Dvorak 8

This program features Riccardo Muti conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Dvorak's Symphony No. 8. Muti's interpretations of Romantic-era symphonies are generally well-regarded, and Dvorak's Eighth is known for its melodic invention and spirited character. This is a chance to hear a prominent conductor lead a major orchestra through a core piece of the classical repertoire. The concert, Muti, Welter and Dvorak 8, is on Friday, December 4, 2026, at 7:30 PM at the Chicago Symphony Center. The CSO's main hall is a traditional concert setting, suitable for those who appreciate orchestral music in a formal environment. It's a good evening for anyone interested in established classical works performed at a high level.
