Chicago Phil Summer Concert Series at Pottawattomie Park
6:00pm

Chicago, IL - (August 6 2019) Chicago Philharmonic brings Side by Side with the Chicago Philharmonic to Rogers Park for the first time in their final summer 2019 concert of the program, presented in association with Chicago Parks District and Mayor Lori Lightfoot's Night Out in the Parks initiative. Chicago Phil (recipient of the 2019 Community Relations of the Year award by the Illinois Council of Orchestras) brings student and community musicians from across the city to rehearse and perform a symphonic concert alongside world-class musicians in Chicago's beautiful parks. Led by Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Scott Speck, Chicago Phil is proud to present a program with works representing different cultural communities of the richly diverse city of Chicago. Highlights include works by Mexican composer Arturo Marquez, African American composer William Grant Still, Polish composer Frederic Chopin, Italian composer Pietro Mascagni, and traditional Chinese piece Dance of the Golden Snake. The event will also feature a pre-concert reception celebrating Chicago Philharmonic being awarded a grant from U.S. Bank's Community Possible program supporting Chi Phil AMP, a community engagement program which provides young music students with meaningful, repeated in-school interactions with, and mentoring by, Chicago Philharmonic musicians. 3-5pm - side-by-side rehearsal 5:30-6pm reception and refreshments with U.S. Bank 6pm - free side-by-side concert Strauss Also sprach Zarathustra, Introduction Chopin/Glazunov Polonaise from Chopiniana Bartok Romanian Folk Dances Brahms Symphony No. 4, Movt. 3 Mascagni Intermezzo from Cavalleria Rusticana Traditional Dance of the Golden Snake Grant Still Symphony No. 1, Movt. 1 Marquez Danzon No. 2 Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture Finale Sousa Stars and Stripes Forever Since the Chicago Philharmonic launched Side by Side in 2015, the program has been received enthusiastically and has steadily expanded.
