Michael Daugherty attending ESO's Saturday night performance

I think we don't stress often enough the calibur of artists we bring into the Elgin Symphony Organization - at all levels. From the contracted musicians, the the subs, to the conductors and guest artists we have some of the top people in Chicago and beyond performing on the stage at Hemmens.

For example, this weekend not only do we have our usual fantastic orchestra performing with baritone Robert Orth, but we also have composer Michael Daugherty coming to make some remarks about his piece Letters from Lincoln at the Saturday night performance. This is pretty exciting, and I've gotten the impression that not too many people know about it.

Well, now you know!
