Ravinia is truly a gem of Chicagoland (Highland Park to be specific) entertainment every summer and has been so for well over 100 years (it was founded in 1872 and opened in 1904) and remains today the area’s oldest venue with incredibly diverse programming you will find anywhere.

This season has been no different and you’ll want to get up to speed on the fantastic schedule coming up for August.

Erik Soderstrom is the Senior Director of Programming and he talks about the many programs, eating opportunities on site, and the legendary large “Pic Nic” lawn that makes for a very special evening.

Coming to Ravinia in August: Morgan Freeman’s Symphonic Blues Experience, superstar Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba in the Movies “Wicked”),. John Legend and even a family friendly sing-a-long with the movie: Sound of Music and an unforgettable experience listening to Marvel Studios’ Infinity Saga. Plus…much more.

Check out the interview by watching or listening and get your calendars ready to be filled with glorious evenings at Ravinia!
