Chicago Symphony Orchestra performers in a CSO MusicNOW performance
When it comes to getting around a bustling city like Chicago to see the sights, jumping in a cab is a great place to start. But hearing the city? Turns out, a taxi can take you on a listening journey, too.
The Ear Taxi Festival is back this autumn (September 15-October 4) with the theme “Hear Chicago.” In what will be the first season since the festival’s inaugural 2016 run, Ear Taxi will boast numerous performances all over the city – most of them free to attendees. What’s more, the festival, which was created by Chicago composer Augusta Read Thomas, has invited a wide array of artists from historically underrepresented groups to represent the Windy City sonically, in keeping with Ear Taxi’s mission to “challenge, collaborate, and change together as artists and listeners.”
