Ravinia_2018_Issue_4_Week

Every year, Ravinia plays host to the beauty of nature, the joy of great

music, and the harmony of satisfied audiences. We owe this, of course,

to nature’s cooperation and the talent of the performers, but we also

recognize the generosity of our sponsors, whose support helps us to bring

these performers to Ravinia and keep admission prices low. Corporate,

foundation, and individual sponsors enable us to present a variety of

performances this season, and we salute their ongoing efforts to support

the many performing arts institutions we enjoy in Chicago.
