America250 at Ravinia Festival

Ravinia Festival has been an American institution since 1904; an unofficial summer home of the Midwest where artists come to share and celebrate the joy of live music. For the 250th anniversary of our Declaration of Independence this summer, a wide range of artists, genres, and reflections in American music—from hip-hop and pop to classical and country—will be celebrated across Ravinia Festival concerts, including compositions focused on American themes that honor the history of the nation. 

The Grammy-winning ensemble Chanticleer traces centuries of musical heritage, exploring spirituals, shape-note songs, barbershop, and vocal jazz alongside bluegrass, folksong, and more as blueprints of contemporary classics.
