A Full House at Ravinia (with an exclusive ticket offer for CCM readers)
As Ravinia celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's summer residency this season, we are excited to continue our Full House® initiative, a grass-roots campaign with the goal of increasing the average pavilion attendance for CSO performances at Ravinia.
Full House is a proactive plan created to invigorate the audience for classical music. When the plan was launched last season, it was endorsed by the Chicago Tribune editorial board and embraced by the "Ravinia Family" and the community at large. The simple idea behind Full House is to deputize all those who already love the CSO experience at Ravinia to invite four new listeners per season to a pavilion concert, thus, over the years, expanding the base of regular concert-goers.
Following select CSO performance, Ravinia hosts Full House receptions at which concert-goers can meet after the performance to discuss their experience over refreshments. Guest artists from the evening's performance are invited to visit the parties, as well. Ravinia staff and volunteers are on hand to engage party-goers in a conversational survey.
Two post-concert receptions have been held this season with great success. We are looking forward to the three remaining events. This season, Full House has brought hundreds of new listeners to the pavilion for CSO performances and will bring many more throughout the remainder of the season.
As a reader of Chicago Classical Music, we would like to offer an exclusive opportunity to purchase half price top-tier pavilion tickets for the CSO performance on Sunday, July 30 featuring Mozart Piano Concertos Nos. 24 and 25 with pianist Jorge Federico Osorio. Email justin@ravinia.org with your name, address, telephone number, and email address to order $45 pavilion tickets for $22.50.
