Brant Taylor
Hard to believe the season has ended, but the 15th Summer Concert Series presented by Rush Hour Concerts was another good one filled with a variety of music. Here is a gallery of fantastic artists whom I had the pleasure of photographing throughout the summer.
Haymarket Opera Theater with Craig Trompeter, Kindra Scharich, and Philipe Leroy.
Sones de Mexico Ensemble playing Bach
Brant Taylor and Kuang-Hao Huang play Beethoven.
Julie Miller and the Lyric Opera's Ryan Opera Center.
Barbara Drapcho and Quintet Attacca
Jani Parsons, Drew Williams, and Jennifer Woodrum of Fifth House Ensemble tearing it up as usual.
The Jason Seed Stringtet experimental fusion goodness.
Third Coast Percussion playing everything.
June was filled with music. So. Much. Music. Spektral Quartet rocked The Hideout so hard, the boys needed whiskey shots. Collaborative Arts Institute of Chicago closed out its season with French art songs performed by Juliet Petrus and Matthew Gemmill at PianoForte Foundation. Some highlights from the Rush Hour Concerts season include the Handel-Halvorsen Passacaglia performed by violinist Liba Schacht and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's principal cellist John Sharp, and a beautiful concert by the trio of John Macfarlane, Brant Taylor, and Winston Choi. Alice Teyssier and the International Contemporary Ensemble blew away a packed Constellation with Daniel Dehaan's "Trompe l'Corps." And soprano J'nai Bridges hit some serious high notes during Make Music Chicago. Click through the gallery below for a selection.
