Adventure abounds this season as we take you on an exhilarating musical journey all season long! Led by four distinguished guest conductors vying to become the ISO’s next Music Director, your acclaimed Illinois Symphony Orchestra is joined by world-renowned guest artists in a season that has something for everyone.

This last season was filled with many highlights from Classical Rockstar Cellist Joshua Roman performing Dvořák’s popular Cello Concerto to ISO’s Principal Horn Brian Goodwin performing Mozart’s charming Fourth Horn Concerto, but that’s not all! We enjoyed two crowd-pleasing Pops concerts, including our Holiday Pops in the Heartland and Star Wars & Beyond, The Best of John Williams. This last season, our program book was viewed by over 9,000 concertgoers at four Symphony Orchestra concerts, two Chamber Orchestra concerts, two Pops concerts, and three Illinois Symphony Youth Orchestra concerts.
