SARASOTA — Sarasota Concert Association presents the Chicago Symphony Orchestra in concert at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 12 at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall
Led by the preeminent conductor Riccardo Muti, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra has been recognized as “one the five top orchestras in the world” by Gramophone magazine.
“There are very good orchestras. There are excellent orchestras. There are great orchestras. And then there is the Chicago Symphony Orchestra,” Wolfram Goertz said.
The Concert Association is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a lineup of world-renowned classical artists and ensembles. Its 2020 Great Performers Series season continues Wednesday, Feb. 12, at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota, with the acclaimed Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
The program features Prokofiev’s “Suite from Romeo and Juliet” and the “Symphony No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 44.”
“The Chicago Symphony Orchestra does not come our way every day,” said Joy McIntyre, SCA’s board president. “They last appeared in Sarasota 13 years ago. Now, under the direction of Riccardo Muti, Sarasota audiences will have the rare opportunity of
experiencing a new, magnificent era of music-making by this extraordinary orchestra. And, to make it even more memorable, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary season of the conducting career of Riccardo Muti and the 75th anniversary of SCA.”
Now celebrating its 129th season, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra is consistently hailed as one of the world’s leading orchestras. In September 2010, renowned Italian conductor Riccardo Muti became its 10th music director.
His vision for the orchestra — to deepen its engagement with the Chicago community, to nurture its legacy while supporting a new generation of musicians, and to collaborate with visionary artists—signals a new era for the institution.
The musicians of the CSO command a vast repertoire and annually perform more than 150 concerts, most at Symphony Center in Chicago, and, since 1936, at the Ravinia Festival in the summer. The CSO also tours nationally and internationally. Since its first

The musicians of the CSO command a vast repertoire and annually perform more than 150 concerts, most at Symphony Center in Chicago, and, since 1936, at the Ravinia Festival in the summer. The CSO also tours nationally and internationally. Since its first
tour to Canada in 1892, the orchestra has performed in 29 countries on five continents in 62 international tours. Annually, the CSO engages more than 200,000 people of diverse ages, incomes, and backgrounds through the innovative programs of the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO. The Institute also manages the Civic Orchestra of Chicago, the only pre-professional training ensemble of its kind affiliated with a major American orchestra.
Born in Naples, Italy, Muti is one of the preeminent conductors of today.
After he won the Guido Cantelli Conducting Competition in Milan in 1967, Muti’s career developed quickly. Herbert von Karajan invited him to conduct at the Salzburg Festival in Austria in 1971, and Muti has maintained a close relationship with the summer festival and with its great orchestra, the Vienna Philharmonic, for more than 45 years. He has received the distinguished Golden Ring and the Otto Nicolai Gold Medal from the
Philharmonic for his outstanding artistic contributions to the orchestra.
