A Free Music Marathon At Symphony Center

current calendar, music, culture

Definitely music for everyone!  Saturday, September 16th is the date.  It's the tenth anniversary of the free music marathon at Symphony Center.  This year Macy's is continuing Marshall Field's traditional sponsorship.

There's a complete schedule available at the CSO website, http://www.cso.org.  You'll see the Day of Music orange logo.  Just click on "download complete event schedule." 

The checkerboard format lists the events in the four different venues, all within Symphony Center, and color codes all events categorically; classical, family, world, jazz and guitar. Further details are available at 312.294.3000 after 10AM.

Included are two Chicago Symphony concerts at 1PM and 7PM for which it is suggested you arrive an hour early to secure seating.  The multitude of other events are scattered throughout the day and evening in the ten hours between 1PM and 10PM. The Silk Road theme will be abundantly represented.  No tickets needed for any event.

You can choose from:  Patricia Barber's Mythologies, folk singer Ella Jenkins, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago,  Hubbard Street 2,  CSO Chamber Ensemble,  DePaul University's Jazz Ensemble, artists from Chicago Guitar Showcase and much, much more.

On Michigan Avenue outside street performers will keep you entertained.  Here you can witness a traditional Chinese Lion Dance, a Mariachi group, a traditional New Orleans style jazz group (from Chicago), among others.
