CHICAGO – Riccardo Muti leads the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) on a six-city, eight-concert U.S. tour (January 14–24, 2025) that marks their first domestic tour together since January 2023.

Muti is in Chicago through November 9 for CSO subscription concerts that include the world premiere performances of the CSO-commissioned Megalopolis Suite, by Osvaldo Golijov, a former CSO Mead Composer-in-Residence from 2006 to 2010.
