Readers of these pages know my great affection of the Ravinia Music Festival, which is the summer home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and also has pop, jazz, and theater programs and more. The park is in Highland Park, Illinois, just across the border from Glencoe, and was a long walk from where I grew up in Glencoe. I went to numerous programs as a kid and later worked for the festival for two seasons.
Ravinia has a huge 3,000-seat open pavilion, but also a massive lawn where people picnic and listen to the concert under the stars. Tonight, they are having a "Virtual Lawn Party" fundraiser. It's hosted by Kristen Chenoweth, and has a mix of classical, pop and jazz performers, featuring Ramsey Lewis, Michelle DeYoung, Patricia Raquette, Marquis Hill and Kevin Cole.
