2008 Ravinia Outings Announced!
This year we will have two great Sundays at Ravinia. For all you classical music buffs, the CSO and Lang Lang will play Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and Rachmaninoff’s “Piano Concerto No. 2.” on Sunday, July 20. For those who prefer lighter fare, Sunday, August 3, will feature the CSO with Erich Kunzel in a program of songs titled “Best of Broadway.” Both programs start at 5:00 p.m. Come early because these will be very popular programs. Lawn admission is $10. Gates open at 3:00 p.m. Meet on the lawn between the pavilion and the ice cream stand. Bring your own picnic food plus something to share. For driving directions to Ravinia, go to www.ravinia.org. For other information, contact Joan Horberg at 847-491-0928.
