Symphony Center - Chicago Symphony Orchestra "Home of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra"

Ever since maestro Theodore Thomas first raised his baton at the Auditorium Theater in 1892, the world knew that this was a first class orchestra to be reckoned with. That reputation has continued through such legendary conductors as Fritz Reiner and Sir George Solti. The group by jordanfischer found its own home at Orchestra Hall in 1905. In 1997, after an extensive renovation, Orchestra Hall was re-christened Symphony Center, a place dedicated to educating young and old alike about classical and jazz music. Under the baton of Daniel Barenboim, the orchestra has continued its tradition of quality musicianship.

Nederlander Theatre "1920s Performace Venue"

Inspired by a style called "Opium Dream," this theater has a quasi-Arabian theme, from the statues that peer down on the audience to the intricate wrought-iron work on the staircase. This was the premier place to see movies in the Loop, and it later housed such live acts as Fred Astaire and Jimmy Durante. However, it fell into grave disrepair in the 1970s and was shuttered for good in the early 1980s. In the mid-1990s, it was purchased by Canada's Livent Theater Group and painstakingly refurbished with money from the Ford Endowment for the Performing Arts, giving it an expanded name. Today it is one of Chicago's premier showcases for musicals such as Ragtime and Cats.

The lower level of this theater has only 281 seats, making it more by fwaggle intimate that other nearby theaters.

The Vic "Concerts & Films"

Customers pack in to hear various rock acts like Skinny Puppy, the Black Keys and Jackson by Dogwood Girl Browne. On non-concert nights (which means three to four nights a week), the Vic is home to "Brew & View," an ongoing series of second-run and cult films (during screenings of which, moviegoers can drink cheap booze and smoke pack after pack of Marlboros.

Don't forget to check out the statue of famed radio and television broadcaster Harry Caray outside.
