Unleash your passion for music — join us for the upcoming Nuestras Noches Season!

Dear CSO Latino Alliance Members,

I hope this letter finds each and every one of you in good health and high spirits. As a new CSO season begins, I write to you with an overflowing sense of excitement and anticipation. The time has come to gather once again and share something truly extraordinary. I invite each of you to embark on this upcoming Nuestras Noches season as we prepare for an unforgettable 10th anniversary.

Music, as we all know, possesses the extraordinary power to stir emotions, uplift spirits and transcend the boundaries of time and space. I love this art form because it unites souls, extends beyond language and cultural barriers, and resonates deeply within our hearts. We, Chicago Hispanics/Latinos, can showcase our orchestra and share the enjoyment of something truly special.

The 10th Season of Nuestras Noches promises to be a celebration of passion, talent and the unyielding pursuit of excellence by the CSO. As an affinity group, the CSO Latino Alliance will craft events to complement concerts that will leave our audiences inspired. It is in this shared experience that we find camaraderie and the pure joy of creating something far greater than the sum of its parts.

I ask each of you, regardless of your role as a member, to join us for this thrilling musical adventure.

The Nuestras Noches season will feature the following concerts:

• Tuesday, October 24 — Gershwin & Bernstein (Noche de una Obra Maestra Méxicana)
• Sunday, December 17 — Merry, Merry Chicago! (Noche Navideña)
• Saturday, February 17 — CSO for Kids: Carnival of the Animals (Una Tarde Familia)
• Thursday, April 25 — CSO x Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis (Noche de Jazz)
• Tuesday, June 11 — Ravel Boléro (Noche Española)

Let us stand together, united by our love for music, and share our unyielding passion that resides within each of us. I encourage you to mark your calendars, clear your schedules and join us for an enriching season filled with harmony, inspiration and the joy of creating something truly extraordinary. Together, let us make our 10th year of Nuestras Noches an unforgettable experience for all.

With utmost excitement and warm regards,
