Symphony Center Presents Concerts -- Symphony Center Presents is the CSO's guest artist series, welcoming a selection of well-known classical artists, as well as musicians from outside the classical genre, to Symphony Center. A total of 52 concerts were presented during the fiscal year to an estimated audience of 94,000. These concerts featured both established artistic leaders and up-and-coming musicians, and welcomed diverse audiences to Orchestra Hall to hear a wide variety of styles of music. SCP programs include an Orchestra series, Chamber series, Piano series, and Jazz at Symphony Center. SCP Jazz is one of the most comprehensive and widely-heralded jazz series in the country, spotlighting some of the world's most famous jazz artists.

Activity 3

Education Concerts and Activities -- The CSO's Institute for Learning, Access and Training conducts more than 20 annual programs that share the transformative power of music with youth, schools, teachers, fmailies, seniors, and underserved populations. More than 126,000 people attended education concerts and youth events at Symphony Center during the 2011/12 season. The Institute conducted over 450 in-school programs, including events in Chicago Public Schools and juvenile detention center school facilities. Free tickets and transportation were offered Chicago residents in traditionally underserved neighborhoods through partnerships with community groups. Free concerts in schools, park district sites and community venues helped demonstrate the importance of music as a part of everyday life.
