Ravinia Cancels 2020 Season

For the first time since the Great Depression, there will be no summer concerts at Ravinia. The country’s oldest music festival, which has been operating continuously since 1904 except for the Great Depression years of 1932-1935, was to host more than 120 concerts in its 2020 season from June 12 through September 16. Festival staff are reportedly developing ideas to give the festival a “from home” presence across social platforms, including virtual opportunities for lectures, master classes, and rehearsals. “The crisis created by the Covid pandemic has impacted so much of our lives in dramatic ways. Ravinia will do its part in helping the nation recover,” said Ravinia Board Chairman Don Civgin in a statement. “And we will celebrate that recovery with music under the stars next summer.” PHOTO COURTESY OF RAVINIA FESTIVAL
