On a brisk winter afternoon, musicians from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra convened at Symphony Center and subsequently boarded coaches heading to O’Hare International Airport. Once there, they climbed aboard a United Airlines flight bound for Florida, marking the initial destination of their 2025 U.S. Winter Tour in Naples, where the temperature was a pleasant 80 degrees.

Under the direction of Riccardo Muti, Music Director Emeritus for Life, the CSO is set to deliver two performances on January 14-15 in Naples, presented by Artis—Naples, symbolizing their fifth engagement at the performing arts venue, before continuing to three additional cities across Florida.

Follow the CSO on Facebook, X, and Instagram as they navigate their winter tour, which features a stop on January 21 at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York and wraps up on January 24 at the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
