An evening of music, collaboration, and community ✨

The Civic Orchestra of Chicago and Ryan Opera Center came together for a night of opera arias, scenes, and orchestral favorites. From powerful vocals to lush orchestral moments, the program was full of highlights.

And the best kind of encore: pizza, desserts, wine, and beer shared together after the performance.

A beautiful reminder of what happens when artists come together and let the music lead.

A happy hour, a ballroom, and a room full of hidden talent? That’s our kind of night. ✨

A week of high notes, on and off the stage.

From the concert hall to the cocktail hour, we heard some great music and got to catch up with new and familiar faces who love it just as much as we do.

Good music, good people. See you at the next one!
