USO Tickets for Troops: Stravinsky, Beethoven & Sibelius

*** This Registration has closed ***

Sibelius’ intense love of nature is mirrored in his Second Symphony, which inhabits a world of rugged, windswept beauty. In his kaleidoscopic choral masterpiece, Stravinsky creates an otherworldly aura. Beethoven’s ebullient concerto features pianist Francesco Piemontesi in his CSO debut. “Piemontesi made a wonderful impression… [He] drew out the reflective undercurrents even while playing with grace and élan” (The New York Times).

Ticket holders are invited to a free preconcert conversation featuring Max Raimi in Orchestra Hall 75 minutes before the performance. The conversation will last approximately 30 minutes. No additional tickets required.

**Ticket Guidelines: ** Ticket reservations are to be made in good faith. Upon receiving your RSVP via the USO system, your attendance is expected. Barring extreme circumstances, a ‘no-show’ or 'same-day cancellation’ for an event will place you on lock-out status from USO Illinois event ticket reservations: 1st time = 90 days; 2nd time = 180 days. This restriction is in place to help ensure that those who wish to take advantage of ticket offers can do so. Thank you for your understanding!
