The Performers

Encore Chamber Orchestra---an ensemble of thirty-five musicians selected by Music Director Daniel Hege from the Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra. The ensemble, now in its fourth season, toured the United Kingdom in 1995 and is currently preparing for a European tour. This concert is a benefit concert for the orchestra; all proceeds will be used for the upcoming tour.

The CYSO is the resident youth orchestra of Chicago's Grant Park Festival. Membership in the orchestra is achieved through competitive annual auditions, in which over 300 students participate. More than half of each year's graduates become college music majors.

Location

The concert will be presented in the Auditorium of the APS Conference Center (Building 402) at Argonne National Laboratory. The concert is open to the public; no special permit is required to enter the laboratory site.
