FESTIVAL NEWS

CELEBRATE THE FOURTH!

Dress in your favorite red, white and blue gear and head to the Pritzker Pavilion for an evening of patriotic favorites, like Stars and Stripes Forever and America, the Beautiful.

Post photos of you at the concert and we'll share them all night long. It's our annual Independence Day Salute—one of the most popular concerts in Millennium Park all season—and nothing says summer in Chicago more than the Grant Park Music Festival on July 4th!

MANY HAPPY RETURNS

In 2014, William Bolcom helped mark the Grant Park Music Festival's 80th anniversary with a weeklong residency that culminated in the world premiere of Millennium: Concerto-Fantasia, specially commissioned by the Festival.

This season, we return the honor by celebrating the 80th birthday of this distinguished American composer. Join us on July 6 and 7 for the Festival premieres of his Symphony No. 4, The Rose, and Machine from his Symphony No. 5.
