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.
