26/27 Staff Picks

The 2026/27 seasons of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chicago Symphony Presents are underway, and members of the Sales and Patron Experience/Services team are here to help by recommending their can’t-miss concerts for next season. Their choices range from Zell Music Director Designate Klaus Mäkelä's residencies to composer-conductor Tan Dun to Jean-Yves Thibaudet, the CSO's 2026/27 Artist-in-Residence.
