The Chicago Symphony Orchestra: www.cso.org and www.csosoundsandstories.org
Founded in 1891, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the greatest
orchestras in the world. Its music director since 2010 is Riccardo Muti, one of the preeminent conductors
of our day. Pierre Boulez is the CSO’s Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus; Yo-Yo Ma is the CSO’s
Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant. Mason Bates and Anna Clyne are the CSO’s Mead
Composers-in-Residence.
From the baroque through contemporary music, the CSO commands a vast classical repertoire. The
renowned musicians of the CSO annually perform more than 150 concerts, most at Symphony Center in
Chicago and, each summer, at the suburban Ravinia Festival. They regularly tour nationally and
internationally; since 1892, the CSO has made 57 international tours, performing in 28 countries on five
continents.
Listeners around the globe enjoy weekly radio broadcasts of CSO concerts and recordings on the WFMT
network and online at cso.org/Radio. Recordings by the CSO have earned a total of 62 Grammy Awards,
including two in 2011 for the first recording Muti released with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and
Chorus, Verdi's Messa da Requiem.
The parent organization for the CSO is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. It includes the
Chicago Symphony Chorus and the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, a training ensemble. Through its
Symphony Center Presents series, the CSOA presents guest artists from a variety of genres—classical,
jazz, pop, world, and contemporary.
The Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO offers a variety of community and education programs that
engage more than 200,000 people of diverse ages and backgrounds. Through the Institute and other
activities, the CSO promotes the concept of Citizen Musicianship: using the power of music to create
connections and build community.
The CSO is supported by tens of thousands of volunteers; patrons; and corporate, foundation,
government, and individual donors. Bank of America is the Global Sponsor of the CSO.
