Recommendations from the Artistic Director: September 2010

Though Rush Hour’s summer season has ended, there is a wealth of great music to experience live in Chicago. Three ensembles whose members appear regularly at Rush Hour are beginning their fall seasons in the coming weeks – I hope to see you at these concerts!
