BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Throughout its history, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra(CSO) has enjoyed leadership from an illustrious list of music directors, beginning with Theodore Thomas, who founded the Orchestra in 1891, followed by Frederick Stock, Désiré Defauw, Artur Rodzinski, Rafael Kubelík, Fritz Reiner, Jean Martinon, Sir Georg Solti, and Daniel Barenboim. From 2006 to 2010, Bernard Haitink led the Orchestra as principal conductor, the first in CSO history. Pierre Boulez, who was appointed principal guest conductor in 1995, has served as Helen Regenstein Conductor Emeritus since 2006.

The CSO performs well over 150 concerts each year at Symphony Center and at the Ravinia Festival, where it is in residence each summer. The ensemble has embarked on thirty-eight overseas tours since Georg Solti led the first tour to Europe in 1971, most recently visiting Italy and Russia in spring 2012, making that trip the thirtieth visit to Europe and second to Russia. The CSO has traveled to Asia six times, as well as once each to Australia and South America. In North America, the Orchestra traveled to Canada sixteen times between 1892 and 1976 and made its first trip to Mexico in October 2012.

Conductor: Riccardo Muti
World-renowned conductor Riccardo Muti made his debut with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at the Ravinia Festival in July 1973. In September of 2007—for the first time in more than 30 years—he appeared with the CSO in a month-long residency that included two weeks of remarkable subscription concerts, a sold-out opening night gala, and a triumphant European tour, which marked the Orchestra's first performances in Italy in more than 25 years. In May 2008, the CSO announced Muti's appointment as its tenth music director, a post he assumed with the beginning of the 2010/11 season.

Over the course of his extraordinary career, Riccardo Muti has conducted most of the important orchestras in the world, including the Berlin Philharmonic, Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and New York Philharmonic, as well as the Vienna Philharmonic, with which he has appeared at the Salzburg Festival since 1971. When Muti was invited to conduct the orchestra for the sesquicentennial celebration concert of the Vienna Philharmonic, he was presented with the Golden Ring by the orchestra as a sign of special appreciation and affection, a prize bestowed to only a select few conductors. In addition, he was invited to conduct the Vienna Philharmonic for the celebrations of Mozart's 250th birthday in January 2006. In December 2003, he conducted the opening concert of the newly renovated La Fenice Opera House in Venice, and from 2006 to 2011 he served as artistic director of Salzburg's Whitsun Festival.
