About Ravinia
Ravinia® is an internationally renowned, not-for-profit music festival, nestled in nature with its enchanting 36-acre outdoor park. This idyllic setting—which features four different stages and the popular Lawn, where picnicking is celebrated as an art—provides a harmonious blend of music and the beauty of the outdoors.
Showcasing outstanding performances by the world’s greatest artists, Ravinia especially supports classical music through the annual summer residency of the acclaimed Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Steans Music Institute for young professional musicians, and its Reach Teach Play music education programs. With more than 100 years of history, Ravinia has always been a place where nature and music intertwine.
Additionally, for over 40 years, the Ravinia Women’s Board has sponsored this annual competition to craft the design that becomes a unique poster promoting the festival’s upcoming summer concert season, serving as a distinctive signature of each Ravinia season.
