Ravinia Chief Conductor Marin Alsop leads three weeks of programs with guests ranging from Grammy winner and 2018 Instrumentalist of the Year violinist Augustin Hadelich to swift new stars pianist Hayato Sumino and cellist Abel Selaocoe, as well as the can’t-miss opening night of American works, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Rhapsody in Blue, and an evening dedicated to Mahler’s Ninth Symphony.
Several guest conductors and soloists also join the orchestra onstage throughout the summer, including a weekend of Mozart with James Conlon featuring the opera Idomeneo and violinist James Ehnes; Alsop protégés Carolyn Kuan, Valentina Peleggi, and Jonathan Rush, and violinist Rachel Barton Pine. Broadway stars Jessie Mueller, Norm Lewis, and Karen Mason join the Gala Benefit Evening to salute screen and stage composer Henry Mancini’s centennial, and Tony-winning orchestrator Ted Sperling highlights the music of iconic songwriter Paul Simon.
