Ravinia Pavilion, located in Highland Park, Illinois, is North America’s oldest outdoor music festival. Established in 1904 as a summer home for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, it has hosted performances by nearly every major musician since its inception. The venue itself features a covered pavilion seating approximately 3,600 people, surrounded by a large lawn accommodating over 10,000 additional listeners. Its acoustics are highly regarded within the classical music community. Originally conceived as part of a planned utopian community focused on arts and culture, Ravinia has evolved into a significant cultural institution offering classical, jazz, and contemporary music programming throughout the summer season. The grounds are maintained as a park open to the public when not hosting events.
