Advance tickets are available through the CBA website, or directly via this Eventbrite link. Advance tickets are $15 each for adults, $10 for students (defined to include law school students or those 18 or under). Advance ticket sales will close at 7:00 p.m. on the day of the event.
However, for those spontaneous sorts who decide to seek out a dose of culture on a sudden impulse, tickets will be available at the door as well ($20 adults / $15 students).
The Chicago Bar Association Symphony Orchestra is made up of attorneys, judges and law students. Growing from just a handful of musicians at its first rehearsal in 1986, the CBASO now regularly fields an orchestra of 75 musicians or more, virtually all affiliated with Chicago's legal community.
According to a spokesperson for the CBASO, the cathedral represented in the event poster is the Cologne Cathedral. Construction began on the cathedral in 1248 -- but did not finish until 1880 (albeit with ongoing repairs over the centuries). Apparently Schumann and his wife, Clara, took a day trip there to see it, ten years after he set Heinrich Heine’s poem “Im Rhein” to music in Dicterliebe. The Schumanns' visit coincided with a ceremony marking the elevation of the local archbishop to the rank of cardinal. Schumann was so impressed he went back a few months later for a tour and commemorated the solemn splendor in the fourth movement, "The Cathedral scene," of the “Rhenish" Symphony.
