The Ravinia Women’s Board hosted the Ravinia Festival’s 60th Annual Gala, a dazzling evening that raised vital funds for the festival’s Reach Teach Play education programs, which provide more than 50,000 children and community members across Chicagoland with equitable access to music. Highlights of the celebration included a performance by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marin Alsop, featuring award-winning pianist Yunchan Lim, as well as a special appearance by global superstar and flutist Lizzo. ravinia.org
