Join the Chicago Philharmonic as it brings Side by Side, its flagship community program, to the John Lewis Plaza for the first time. This outdoor tradition brings together community musicians with the world-class musicians of the Chicago Philharmonic for an exciting summer-evening concert led by Artistic Director and Principal Conductor Scott Speck. As part of our You Are America series, the program honors trailblazing artists including Florence Price, John Williams, Carlos Simon, and William Grant Still—bringing together musicians of all ages in a performance rooted in collaboration, connection, and the spirit of “We.”
