Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Merry, Merry Chicago!

The Loop’s National Historic Landmark Orchestra Hall is ornate enough to dazzle year-round, but shines extra bright for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s Merry, Merry Chicago! holiday concert conducted by Alastair Willis. On a stage decked with—literally—boughs of holly, larger-than-life red bows and wreaths, the acclaimed instrumentalists play tunes ranging from beloved holiday favorites to Christmas in Chicago, a local treasure. Before the show and during intermissions, you’ll even hear pop-up performances from Chicago school choirs and community ensembles throughout the halls.
