A major book exploring the history of Chicago's downtown, outdoor classical music program, the Grant Park Music Festival. The book helps to celebrate the 75th season of the Festival which was established in 1935 as a creative response to the hardships of the Great Depression by James Petrillo, the renowned musicians' labor leader. The Festival quickly became an immensely popular Chicago tradition and enabled audiences, often ten thousand or more per night, to experience performances by legendary artists and a top caliber orchestra and chorus for free. Among the artists the Festival has presented include: vocalists Lily Pons, Mario Lanza, and Marion Anderson; pianists Van Cliburn, Alfred Brendel, and Daniel Barenboim; violinists Jascha Heifitz and Pinchas Zuckerman; conductors Nikolai Malko, Andre Kostelanetz, and Leonard Slatkin; new works by contemporary composers such as John Corigliano, Aaron Jay Kernis, and Michael Torke; along with artists from other traditions such as Benny Goodman, Mitch Miller, Poi Dog Pondering and the Joffrey Ballet. The Festival has flourished under the guidance of resident artistic leaders such as current Principal Conductor Carlos Kalmar, current Chorus Director Christopher Bell, and outgoing Artistic and General Director James W. Palermo.
