Maestro Muti conducts his 250th concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra!

On December 5, 2015, we celebrate Maestro Muti’s 250th concert with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in a performance of Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony, Scriabin’s Prometheus: Poem of Fire, and Beethoven’s Coriolan Overture and Eighth Symphony.
 
Maestro Muti’s musical relationship with the CSO began in 1973, when he made his debut with the Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival. His subscription debut followed in March 1975. After a 32-year absence, during which he served as Principal Conductor of the Philharmonia Orchestra and as Music Director of both the Philadelphia Orchestra and Teatro alla Scala, Maestro Muti returned to lead the CSO in September 2007 with two weeks of concerts at Orchestra Hall, followed by a highly acclaimed European tour. Maestro Muti became Music Director of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in September 2010, starting his tenure with a free concert for the City of Chicago in the Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park that was attended by over 25,000 people. Since then, Maestro Muti and the Musicians of the CSO have performed in Chicago and other U.S. cities, as well as in Europe and Mexico. In January 2016, the CSO and Maestro Muti will embark on their first Asian tour together, with concerts scheduled in Taiwan, Japan, China and South Korea. The CSO has flourished with Maestro Muti as Music Director. His message that music has the power to bring peace to the world is one that the musicians of the Orchestra strive to bring to each concert.
 
We look forward to the next 250 concerts! Bravo, Maestro!
