    ANNUAL REPORT 2005 CROSSROADS F U N D change, not charity Four decades later I am still uncomfortable with the credit given to me for starting the bus “ boycott. I would like [people] to know I was not the only person involved. I was just one of many who fought for freedom… As I look back on those days, it’s just like a dream. The only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest “ and to let it be known wherever we go that all of us should be free and equal and have all opportunities that others should have. Rosa Parks WE DEDICATE THIS ANNUAL REPORT TO ROSA PARKS. In school we learned Rosa Parks was too tired to give up her seat to a white rider, that her long day working as a seamstress left her too exhausted to move, that weariness is what motivated her defiance of the law in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, 1955. Our schoolbooks obscured the real story, the real Rosa Parks. Ms. Parks was an evolving community activist. She served as Secretary of the Montgomery NAACP from 1943 to 1957 and attended the Highlander Folk School, an education center for workers’ rights and racial equality in Tennessee only six months before she sat on that particular bus. She was not the first black bus rider to have been arrested in Montgomery for refusing to move. Rather, she became central to a campaign organized by black activists, including herself, to create fundamental change on the local level, change that would have a catalytic effect on the civil rights movement in our country.

  • 2018 Annual Report CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION RICCARDO MUTI Zell Music Director Message from the Chair
    2018 annual report CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION RICCARDO MUTI Zell Music Director message from the chair dear cso friends and family, The 2017/18 season was a wonderful example of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association’s profound impact as a cultural leader. With artistic excellence as their hallmark, Riccardo Muti and the talented Members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra continued to endear themselves wherever they performed—from their handsome Burnham home at 220 South Michigan Avenue to the north, south, and west sides of the city and beyond. Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti has won over audiences through his music-making as well as his demonstrated commitment to sharing classical music with a broad audience since his appointment in 2010. A great example of this from last season was the standing room only, free, community concert at Lane Tech High School in November. Later, in January, we were extremely pleased to announce that Maestro Muti would be extending his contract through 2022 with the promise of continuing to bring the CSO to ever-higher levels of achievement and influence. Serving as ambassadors for the City of Chicago, Muti and the Orchestra toured both coasts last season. Their reputation preceded them at every location, and they surpassed expectations in performance. Emblematic of the belief that the power of art is timeless, three recent CSO commissions were programmed alongside pillars of the symphonic repertoire on these tours. It is a tremendous undertaking when the Orchestra travels, but one well worth the effort in order to share the artistry of the CSO with new and eager audiences.
