Well, it's official ... after several busybee weeks, no make that months, the Ravinia Festival's web site has been updated, brochures hit the mail and online ticket sales have begun.
Tickets went on sale yesterday and our August 9th showcase of Bach's Complete Brandenburg Concertos, to be performed in our intimate Martin Theatre (featuring the CSO and Jaime Laredo as conductor, violin and viola), has already sold out! What a feeling to see classical performances getting this kind of audience attention.
As many of you know, our brochure included a CD preview of the summer season hosted by our CEO Welz Kauffman and soprano Sylvia McNair. We were pleased to see the Chicago Sun-Times give the CD a shout out in yesterday's paper. It's true that you can write and write about music until you're blue in the face, but hearing that preview of Mahler's Third or Renee Fleming or Verdi's Requiem leaves the listener hungry for more. We'll be serving it up June 1–September 16.
