One of the defining strengths of our school is our close relationship with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). Having over a dozen CSO musicians on our faculty deeply enriches the musical preparation we offer our students. In this HPC Presents concert, we are honored to welcome the renowned CSO Brass Quintet to our stage, featuring faculty member and CSO principal trumpet, Esteban Batallán. This concert will showcase the unparalleled brilliance and exceptional power of the CSO brass section, contributing to the ensemble’s legendary and distinctive “Chicago Sound.”
