Two nights at Ravinia

The buzz across the park last weekend was the CSO and Ravinia debuts of Zemlinksy's "Lyric Symphony," but Cyber Classical beat them to it.

How horrible! Ravinia is the ideal setting for anyone to access classical music. My partner encountered Brahms for the first time at Ravinia when he was 16...and for me Ravinia introduced me to Mahler when I was an undergraduate.
