Chicago Philharmonic to Host Community Concert At Columbus Park Refectory

In its third community concert of 2019, Chicago Philharmonic (recipient of the 2019 Community Relations of the Year award by the Illinois Council of Orchestras) presents Side by Side with the Chicago Philharmonic at Columbus Park in Austin as part of the Chicago Park District and Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Night Out in the Parks initiative. Led by Chicago Phil Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Scott Speck, this signature community engagement program brings music opportunities to students and community members of all ages and backgrounds as they rehearse and perform alongside Chicago Philharmonic's world-class musicians.
