Pamela J. Mayo In August of 1999, I attended my first Ravinia performance and sat in the last row of the Pavilion for Natalie Cole’s Snowfall on the Sahara Tour concert. That night was the beginning of a more than 25-year commitment to Ravinia and its mission to build broad and diverse audiences for classical music through education and community engagement. My personal dedication to Ravinia, having served on the Board of Trustees, makes it a special honor to support the festival and look forward to the concert featuring Chance the Rapper. Richard L.
