Ravinia 2019, Issue 1, Week 1

MAY 31, 2019 – JUNE 16, 2019 | RAVINIA MAGAZINE 55 Joan and Bob Feitler Ravinia is one of Chicago’s greatest summer traditions, and we’re pleased to be part of it by helping to bring the Juilliard String Quartet to the Martin Theatre on June 19 for a performance of works by Beethoven, Lembit Beecher, and Dvořák. The Fremont Foundation Ravinia has been a very important part of our summer experience. The Fremont family is very pleased to sponsor the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra concert featuring George Li on August 20, which we know will be a wonderful evening and a great addition to the summer at Ravinia. Lori Ann Komisar and Morris Silverman We are honored to sponsor the August 9th concert featuring the Chicago Symphony Orchestra presenting On The Waterfront with conductor David Newman. Ravinia has always been our summer ‘home away from home’. Picnicking on the lawn with family and friends or sitting in the Pavilion enjoying the diverse talents of the world’s most noted artists, the Ravinia Festival is a family treasure and tradition we are proud to share with the greater Chicago community. We look forward to the CSO’s performance on August 9th and are pleased to support the efforts of the 2019 Ravinia Festival in bringing another spectacular summer under the stars for all to enjoy.
