More people should know about this. This orchestra performs for free at the Symphony Center. They are the training/​feeder orchestra of CSO, sort of like the triple A team to Major league baseball team.
Went there on Feb 8 for their free concert. They played Mahler Symphony No. 7. They played beautifully and the event was not 100% filled (maybe about 80%). To those of you who sometimes toy with the idea of buying tickets to CSO but think it’s too expensive… well, try a Civic Orchestra concert! The next free concert is on April 5.

The Civic Orchestra of Chicago is the perfect means for listening to beautiful music in the Symphony Center (also home to the CSO) without spending more than $ 1. That’s right — tickets are free, with only $ 1 convenience charge if you pick them up at the door. You can also order tickets online.
In a city the size of Chicago, free entertainment of this caliber is popular, so pick up your general admission tickets at least a few hours in advance and make sure to arrive not long after the doors open, as choice seating fills up quickly.
The COC is a great alternative to the CSO for those thrifty persons like myself or those who aren’t sure if they enjoy classical music, but want to give it a whirl.

Major love for the ‘apprentice’ orchestra to the CSO. Nothing second rate in their performance and their enthusiasm for playing is quite evident. They convinced me that the only way to listen to Mahler is live.
One extra star for being free!
