Can I tell you that the more I look for free events in the Chicago-area, the more I find?   Most people know of the free concerts in Millennium Park or which street fests we can enter for free or for a low admission fee, which means most of us think of free events as summer-time events.  However, there are a lot of free concerts and plays in the winter if you hunt around (or visit this site:).

 

I’ve never really attended many orchestras, but now that I know how many free concerts there are, it may be time to expand my horizons a bit.

One of Chicago’s non-profits that offers free concerts is the Chicago Chamber Orchestra.  Every month or two, they hold a concert on Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.  Locations vary, so don’t automatically go to the location of the last event.

The 2011-12 schedule is posted…

More free culture in Chicago…

The Civic Orchestra of Chicago is offering almost free concerts during its 2011-12 season.   Tickets may have a handling fee (about $4), but it is still a great price.

The free concerts are performed by the orchestra in training– for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.

On their website’s Calendar and Events page, select “Civic Orchestra” and you will find the full schedule and be able to order your tickets.
