The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistent-

ly 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. The orchestra was founded in 1891 by its first

music director, Theodore Thomas, and its other

illustrious music directors include Frederick

Stock, Désiré Defauw, Artur Rodziński, Rafael

Kubelík, Fritz Reiner, Jean Martinon, Sir Georg

Solti, and Daniel Barenboim. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma

is the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative

Consultant.

The renowned musicians of the CSO command

a vast repertoire and annually perform more

than 150 concerts—most at Symphony Center in

Chicago and, since 1936, at Ravinia in the sum-

mer. The CSO also tours nationally and interna-

tionally. Since its first tour to Canada in 1892, the

orchestra has performed in 29 countries on five

continents during 60 international tours.

Since 1916, recording has been significant in

establishing the orchestra’s international rep-

utation, with recordings by the CSO earning a

total of 62 Grammy awards from the National

Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Its

independent label, CSO Resound, was launched

in 2007. The 2010 release of Verdi’s

Messa da

Requiem

, with the CSO and Chicago Symphony

Chorus conducted by Muti, was recognized

with two Grammy awards. Listeners around the

world can hear the CSO in weekly airings of the

CSO Radio Broadcast Series, which is syndicat-

ed on the WFMT Radio Network and online at

CSO.org/Radio.

Thousands of patrons, volunteers, and donors

support the CSOA each year. The CSO’s music

director position is endowed in perpetuity by a

generous gift from the Zell Family Foundation.

The Negaunee Foundation provides gener-

ous support in perpetuity for the work of the

Negaunee Music Institute. Bank of America is

the Global Sponsor of the Chicago Symphony

Orchestra.
