Grant Park Event Wrap-Up

Last night’s Take a Friend to the Orchestra event by the Grant Park Orchestra was a great deal of fun. Even amidst very non-June weather, the orchestra played wonderfully to a crowd of approximately 12,000. The post-concert Talk Back event attracted around 120 patrons (with thousands more lounging in the lawn seats as daylight lazily slipped away) and it was an honor to be included alongside the ensemble’s conductor and two of its musicians. I’ll have some pics from the event and more details after the next Take a Friend event scheduled for this Saturday’s concert at 7:30 but note that this event takes place before the 7:30PM CT concert at one of their Coffee Talk events (details).
