  1. Chicago summer classical music preview: Ravinia, 'Aida' and Carlos Kalmar

    This is one summer when local classical music lovers — and this means you — may want to skip the usual out-of-town cultural expeditions, avoid the hassles of air and car travel, and simply take advantage of the listening bounty that awaits right here on the city's doorstep. A great many concerts cost nothing, including the Grant Park Music Festival, the weekly Rush Hour Concerts at St. James Cathedral in downtown Chicago and the Rush Hour-produced Make Music Chicago, a daylong, citywide celebration June 21.

  8. Ravinia high on proven marquee names in upcoming schedule

    The Ravinia Festival remains one of the nation&rsquo;s heavyweight classical music impresarios even if it increasingly finds itself in the position of playing Goliath to the David of the Grant Park Music Festival at Millennium Park. Ho-hum symphonic fare dominates the classical programming. Pop music and other, more commercial lures seem to be pushing classical to the sidelines. Even Ravinia&rsquo;s longtime blue-chip resident, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, now plays second fiddle to pop headliners, on some occasions.
