We are proud to announce the first of three evening-length Chicago Symphony Orchestra chamber concerts that will be specially curated to reflect the themes of our 2025 exhibitions The inaugural program on April 8 features three works in celebration of A Tale of Today: Materialities with a brief introduction to the exhibition by its guest curator, Dr. Giovanni Aloi. The partnership comes on the heels of the restoration and reopening of the Murphy Auditorium as part of our campus in 2024. Originally constructed between 1923 and 1926, the recent renovation has transformed the Murphy Auditorium into a world-class performance space. This concert series is generously sponsored by the Zell Family Foundation. Driehaus Museum Executive Director Lisa Key stated, "With this announcement, we celebrate the union of two Chicago institutions for the benefit of our community. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra is ideally suited for the Murphy Auditorium, now an integral part of the Museum’s campus, and the Murphy Auditorium’s opulent and intimate environment is a special place to showcase the CSO’s prodigious talents. By connecting music to our exhibitions, this program series will offer a unique opportunity to broaden our perspectives through the dialogue between music and art." "This partnership with the Driehaus Museum offers a unique opportunity for the CSO to explore the profound connections between visual art and music,” said Cristina Rocca, Vice President of Artistic Administration. “We've curated programs that resonate with the themes of the Museum's exhibitions. The intimate setting of the Murphy Auditorium provides a space where these dialogues can flourish, offering audiences an immersive and deeply moving artistic experience."
