Title: Grant Park Orchestra -streaming live tonight, Rachmaninov...
Post by: TheGSMoeller on July 18, 2012, 11:35:22 AM
http://www.wfmt.com/  will be streaming Chicago"s own Grant Park Orchestra's performance this evening, Khachaturian's Violin Concerto and Rachmaninov's Symphonic Dances

Begins at 7:30 eastern, 6:30 central with no intermission. The above link has a "listen live" button on its home page, easy to navigate, also WFMT has apps for iPhone and iPad, not sure about other mobile devices.

Hope you get a chance to listen and enjoy, them be a great group of musicians!! Plus, if you're lucky you can hear police and fire truck sirens in the background (hall is outside)

Sounds great! Alas, I will be on a boat, listening to a quartet play John Cage.  ;D

(But perhaps they archive the concerts?)

Aw shucks, well prepare for July 25th, streaming of their Prokofiev 5th on same station. I'll post that for a reminder next week.
