Before the November 8 performance of Muti & the CSO, join the Latino Alliance in Grainger Ballroom for an enlightening conversation with Osvaldo Golijov, moderated by WFMT’s Oliver Camacho, delving into Golijov’s music and tenure as former CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence. Afterward, Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra perform Golijov’s Megalopolis Suite, alongside spirited pieces that evoke the lively rhythms of southern Spain, including Manuel de Falla’s Suite No. 2 from The Three-Cornered Hat and Emmanuel Chabrier’s España.

Specially priced concert tickets start at $40 using promo code LASEASON. A separate ticket to attend the Latino Alliance 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.

Día de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, begins on November 1 as a day of remembrance for deceased loved ones. This tradition has its origins in precolonial Mexico, based on the belief that souls return to celebrate their lives with their families. Today, families commemorate the day by creating ofrendas (altars), adorned with photos, candles, incense and other decorations and offerings to remember the departed.

From October 24 to November 3, visitors to Symphony Center can pay their respects at an ofrenda created by local artist Elvia Rodriguez Ochoa. Honoring members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association family who have passed away over the past year, it also features opportunities for the public and Symphony Center patrons to honor their loved ones. The ofrenda is located on the first floor of the Rotunda.

The CSO Latino Alliance’s 2024/25 Season is the most exhilarating yet, marking its 11th anniversary with 14 captivating concerts across classical, jazz, baroque, bolero and beyond.
