From all the members of the CSO Latino Alliance Advisory Board, we wish you a Happy New Year 2025!

As we embark on this new year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your support of the CSO Latino Alliance in 2024. In this newsletter, you’ll find a summary of our shared activities over the past year in the article “2024: a year of music, culture and celebration with the CSO Latino Alliance.”

As we move into the second half of the 11th Latino Alliance season, we are excited to continue welcoming you to Symphony Center for outstanding musical performances, as well as educational preconcert discussions and postconcert networking events.

Together, we will carry forward our mission to serve as a bridge between the Chicagoland Latino community and classical music, providing access to classical music for future generations.

We are deeply grateful for your continued support and proud to count you as part of our CSO family. We look forward to seeing you at Symphony Center soon!

¡Feliz Año Nuevo!

Estefanía García and Juan Solana
Co-Chairs, CSO Latino Alliance

The trailblazing 18-member string orchestra, composed of outstanding Black and Latino musicians from around the country, performs diverse masterworks by Teresa Carreño and Grammy Award-winning composer Jessie Montgomery. Following the concert, CSO Latino Alliance members are invited to raise a glass alongside Sphinx Virtuosi leadership and musicians in celebration of their Symphony Center debut.

The reception is co-hosted with the CSO African American Network and is held in Grainger Ballroom following the concert.

Specially priced concert tickets start at $40 using promo code LASEASON. A separate ticket to attend the reception is free.

You will be prompted to add the free reception ticket after selecting your seats for the concert. Both a concert ticket and reception ticket are required for entry. For questions or assistance, contact Patron Services.

The young professionals of the Overture Council proudly bring their acclaimed fashion show event back to the Orchestra Hall stage at Symphony Center! As part of the Soundpost event series, this one-of-a-kind experience showcases Chicago’s emerging talent across diverse artistic disciplines.

As each model graces the runway, their movements are accompanied by live performances by musicians from the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, creating a captivating fusion of fashion and classical music. Renaissance Remix seeks to bridge generational gaps and redefine the symphony experience, proving that, like fashion, classical music is adaptable, emotive and timelessly relevant.

On December 21, Latino Alliance members and friends enjoyed cookies, hot chocolate and an a capella performance in Grainger Ballroom at Noche navideña.
