Last November, Maestro Jakub Hrůša visited the music library and @csoarchives, where he viewed historic scores of Martinů’s First Violin Concerto and Strauss’ Also sprach Zarathustra and Death and Transfiguration, all of which he conducts during his two-week March residency.
In between rehearsals for this week's program, Frank Villella, director of the CSOA's Rosenthal Archives, & Maestro Daniel Harding peruse the scores used by 2nd music director Frederick Stock for the 1920 US premiere of Holst's The Planets. @csoarchives @djharding 📷: Jihyeon Kim

Of all the likenesses of J.S. Bach (born 21.03.1685) I like this of the young Bach in Arnstadt the most, mainly because it gives us an image that goes against Bach the old master and because the last time I posted it, I got a lot of angry responses because, well, this is Twitter.
Yesterday marked our 100th day in office! 🥳 We’ve been busy assisting residents, meeting with community leaders, & working hard to provide the resources & services our neighborhoods deserve. I'm excited to continue fighting for a government & economy that works for all of us.

There is very little to celebrate today as poverty increases, as gun violence runs rampant, as wealth and income inequality reaches a boiling point, & as climate change goes off the rails. We need to guide our country toward a future where we seriously address these challenges.
As a part of the @RaviniaFestival family, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association extends its sincere condolences to the Highland Park community, especially the family and friends of the victims of yesterday’s tragedy. We share your sadness and hope for healing and peace.
