Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Current Identity Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 11 IDENTITY Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Current Identity Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 12 current identity The current identity of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra employs visuals that evoke the language of notation, seems to be a “C” in a somewhat abstracted version of a clef. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Current Identity: Signage Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 13 signage Their posters and advertisement tend to focus on the current director, Riccardo Muti, as well as other featured performers. The typography varies, as does the aesthetic quality of imagery. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Current Identity: Web Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 14 web The logo is paired with a chunky sans serif, which doesn’t always seem integrated into all aspects of their identity. They also tend to use an italicized serif for headlines. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Current Identity: Campaign Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 15 campaign The CSO came to the design firm Orangeseed with an ambitious goal: to become the most heard, most engaged orchestra in Chicago—and the world. That meant developing an unprece- dented capital campaign to raise $250 million for new programs, community involvement and world tours. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Case Studies Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 16 CASE STUDIES Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Case Studies Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 17 Typically, other symphony music notation/ornament architecture/geometric sound/motion orchestras and concert halls around the world tend to have identities that fall into these distinct categories. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Case Studies: Berlin Philharmonic Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 18 The visual identity of the Berlin Philharmonic clearly draws inspiration from the shape of the concert hall. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Case Studies: Berlin Philharmonic Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 19 Branding is carefully considered throughout the website and printed materials that the organization produces. Chicago Symphony Orchestra / Case Studies: Geneva Symphony Orchestra Identity Stystem / Phase 1: visual and verbal research 20 This identity is slightly nuanced, where a font has been tweaked to evoke musical notation but without using anything more than note heads.

  • Wind Symphony
    Wind Symphony DR. RICHARD R. FISCHER, CONDUCTOR The Fred and Jane Wittlinger Chair in Music Performance FALL 2020 PROGRAM REV. DR. JEFFREY LEININGER, UNIVERSITY PASTOR, COMMENTATOR Concordia University Chicago Introduction The world is a very different place than it was just one year ago. In the United States alone, the civil unrest, damaging forest fires and political tension would be enough to make the past year stand out against what many remember as less fraught times. That, of course, is not to mention COVID-19. The coronavirus and its repercussions have affected us in a wide variety of ways—physically, emotionally, economically, spiritually. Each of us has felt these effects to different degrees. You may have lost a family member to COVID, while most others have not. You may have lost a job, while some others are working overtime to meet some new demand. You may be struggling to face each new day, while others seem oblivious to the weight that is so real to you. Given all of that, it is easy to wonder, where is God in all of this? Despite all of that—or rather because of all of that—I am convinced that during this semester at Concordia University Chicago, God’s presence has been felt more strongly than it was in what we now think of as “pre-COVID” times. What is more, I believe that most, if not every student who is about to share their substantial God-given talents and abilities with you would concur. Because of all the unsettling happenings and circumstances around us—and because of the long fast from making music together—we are more thankful than ever before for God’s gift of music to us, for the opportunity to make music together again and to share the Gospel of Christ with you through that music.

    Mᴀɴᴅᴀʟᴀ South Asian Performing Arts mandalaarts.org Mandala Arts Mandala South Asian Performing Arts is a MacArthur award-winning organization, founded by Artistic Director Pranita Nayar. From classical to contemporary, Mandala Arts offers audiences an evocative exploration of the dance, theatre and music forms of South Asia. Our performances and productions have a connection to ancient and classical traditions, ranging from the Indian Ocean to the Himalayas, and from Persia to Indonesia. These practices evolve into the lived experiences of diaspora artists. We are dedicated to sharing cultural exchanges and experiences through our Academy, our company performances (Mandala Ensemble), and our outreach programs. Mandala's Ensemble artists bring their far-ranging aesthetics and vocabularies into the work. Mandala Arts has presented work at Chicago Symphony Center, Harris Theater, Logan Center for the Arts, the Art Institute of Chicago, and with Auditorium Theater. Executive Artistic Director Pranita Nayar founded Mandala Arts in 2014, where she serves as Executive Artistic Director. Pranita is a producer, curator, master teacher and choreographer whose work is rooted in South Asian dance forms and their changing contexts within the diaspora. Pranita has been an exponent of Bharatanatyam in the Chicagoland region for over 30 years, and her path has flowed into deconstruction of the movement vocabulary — from gesture to reassemblage. Pranita’s work has received many honors; she has been a Lab Artist with Chicago Dancemakers Forum (2016), received three MacArthur Awards through her leadership in South Asian arts, and is an 11-time recipient of the Master Teacher award given by Illinois Arts Council. Her work has been presented at the Lincoln Center, The Smithsonian Institute, Harris Theater (Chicago), the Olympics (Salt Lake City, 2002), and the MTV VMA’s (Shakira).
