Come One, Come All!

This weekend was our Customer Appreciation Day where Ravinia fans enjoyed a ticket discount, free food tastings and goodies, music performances and a live broadcast on WFMT with Ravinia President and CEO Welz Kauffman and on-air talent Carl Grapentine.

The radio broadcast was full of great chat, music of the season, live performances and call-in interviews with 2009 artists such as Bill T. Jones, Ramsey Lewis, Marc Robin and Sylvia McNair. Beethoven expert Robert Greenberg and Kurt Weill aficionado Kim Kowalke also spoke on the air about the incredible composers that we are featuring and Spiaggia chef Tony Mantuano called in to talk about his guest chef appearance at Ravinia this summer.

It was great to see so many people get a glimpse of the park before we officially open on June 5, taking in the beauty of the greenery and enjoying the beautiful weather today. The season is almost here, can’t wait to see you all in a few weeks!
