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. 

Ravinia Festival’s Steans Institute performance-study fellowship program for emerging professional classical singers presents an afternoon concert featuring a kaleidoscope of musical impressions of America from diverse times, places, and viewpoints, including music by Ives, Weill, Puccini, Britten, Montsalvatge, Dvořák, and Rameau.
