To complement its classical-music schedule, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association annually programs hundreds of concerts, including performances of jazz, world music and new music through its Symphony Center Presents series. Single tickets for all CSOA-presented events in the 2018-19 season, including those of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, CSO at the Movies and SCP series, go on sale at 10 a.m. Aug. 10 online at cso.org, by phone (312) 294-3000 or in person at the Symphony Center box office, 220 S. Michigan.
Earlier this summer, single tickets went on sale for certain fall and holiday concerts, but now the entire season is open for non-subscription purchases. Along with launching single-ticket sales, the CSOA also announced programming updates and repertoire details. All concerts are at Symphony Center, unless otherwise noted.
