A Glimpse At Ravinia's Past
Pack up the car with your Crate & Barrel picnic table, lawn chairs, blanket, food, and of course the libations...It's almost Ravinia season! Every summer the outdoor suburban venue beckons concert-goers to sit in the lawn, relax and soak in the sunshine and music.*
The Highland Park Library holds a collection of Ravinia posters spanning the last 35 years, and you can see them all on their Flickr page. The posters began with a contest in 1974 held by the Women's Board of the Ravinia Festival, and each season has its own design. While the library holds more than 20 posters, its collection is not complete. They are asking that if you hold a poster from one of the missing years and would be interested in donating it, to contact the Library Director (847-432-0216).
Ravinia recently announced their 2009 schedule including performances from Indigo Girls, Pat Benatar, Steve Miller Band, Herbie Hancock, Femi Kuti, Yo-Yo Ma, and of course, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. View the full schedule here.
*Be sure to stake your claim early, because by the time the show starts you wont be able to find one visible patch of grass in the whole place.
