Presented as part of the Grant Park Music Festival at Jay Pritzker Pavilion, the program featured the CYSO in three complete works: Rachmaninoff’s Symphonic Dances, Op. 45; the Overture to Kabalevsky’s opera Colas Breugnon; and Tchaikovsky’s Capriccio Italien. Together with Blue Man Group, the orchestra also performed a medley of music by Amilcare Ponchielli, Franz von Suppé, and Richard Wagner.
