We are thrilled to announce American Mavericks, a landmark Chicago Philharmonic celebration on July 1 at the newly opened Elie Wiesel Auditorium at the Obama Presidential Center. This will be one of the very first cultural events ever held in the space, and we invite you to join us for this historic moment.
This intimate gathering of 250 guests honors America’s 250th year with a pre‑concert cocktail reception and a full symphonic program led by Artistic Director Scott Speck.
The concert highlights many of the artistic "mavericks" who shaped our nation's artistic past and future including Michael Tilson Thomas, Aaron Copland, Florence Price, Jessie Montgomery, John Williams, and more. Featured guests include Kishi Bashi, Njioma Grevious, Melissa Joseph, and Darryl J. Williams.
We hope you join us for this extraordinary celebration of the rich tapestry of American music, rooted in joy, curiosity, and hope.
