CSOtv Streaming Platform
Chicago Symphony Orchestra Concerts - To help audiences stay connected with music during the pandemic, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association launched a new streaming platform, CSOtv, in fall of 2020. Anchoring the new digital content available on CSOtv was the CSO Sessions series, created with artistic guidance from Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and featuring musicians of the CSO performing in chamber ensembles. Beautifully filmed in Orchestra Hall, each of the 22 episodes that premiered in the 2020/21 Season provided patrons a front-row seat to the artistry of CSO musicians. On May 27, 2021, the CSO returned to Orchestra Hall for its first performances for audiences since March 2020. Three weeks of concerts closed the season with a joyful reunion between musicians and audiences.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJul 1, 2020 – Jun 30, 2021Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$29MCivic Orchestra of Chicago
