Mission

Founded in 1904, Ravinia Festival is the oldest outdoor music festival in North America and is lauded for presenting world-class music. The festival attracts about 600,000 listeners to some 120 to 150 events that span all genres from classical music to jazz to music theater over each three-month summer season. Heading into its second century, Ravinia has identified community outreach and education initiatives as a key mission. The Festival runs its acclaimed programs in 24 inner-city schools throughout Chicago and will soon move into other under-served areas.
