Love the CSO! Definitely one of the better orchestras in the US. The space was beautiful and cozy as well.
Beautiful historic building, some of the best acoustics there as well. If you arrive early, cross Wabash and grab a Cuban coffee or sandwich at Cafecito.

At the intermission now and have to say that the first act was really excellent - funny, fun and very well done. Highly recommend if you get a chance - it’s only here for 2 weeks.
