Am remembering the first time I saw Brandi Carlile live - such a beautiful evening at #Ravinia in Aug 2023. This video is of her and Catherine Shepherd singing Closer to Fine by the #IndigoGirls from the Barbie movie.

I put a spell on you
#CynthiaErivo #Ravinia
Everything is terrible, but art - as it always has and ever will - retains its power to remind us of beauty and human possibility.
Had the privilege of seeing #CynthiaErivo with #ChicagoSymphonyOrchestra tonight at #Ravinia. Stunning talent all around.
And there was singing on the train home.
❤️
#CynthiaErivo spread joy at #Ravinia tonight. Prince into Sinead O’Connor was brilliant 🙏
And the sign language interpreter was mesmerizing
Elderly Woman on Train: Who are you seeing?
Guy: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.
Elderly Woman on Train: …okay, I’ve never heard of them but I hope you have a great time.

Morgan Freeman onstage at Ravinia

Aforementioned wine
Carrot cake
I thought I was attending a Delta blues concert that Morgan Freeman would be narrating via prerecorded video. But dude was THERE—and then proceeded to sit a few rows behind me. 😮 Also, there was wine and carrot cake. #Ravinia #Chicago
Glorious memory from last night at Ravinia where Beck performed with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra - Listening to the phenomenal music while also overhearing my children comparing notes between the Zippin Pippin and the Demon. #Beck #Ravinia #BayBeach #SixFlags
Fantastic show at #Ravinia tonight featuring the band #Chicago. Perfect weather, sound and our own picnic. #music #concert #summer #vacation

Beautiful, happy #Ravinia. At @muttvilledogrescue.bsky.social two and a half days, all her rotten teeth removed, a fancy groom by Cindy to fix a matted coat—And adopted! Miracles happen at Muttville Senior Dog Rescue. #muttvillealum #pomeranian #seniordog #adoptvintagelove
One good thing yesterday: mini road trip to Ravinia to see family. Been decades. Also stopped at Mars Cheese Castle because you have to. And my old fave hot dog place is not the same. Oh well. #onegoodthing #ravinia #miniroadtrip #marscheesecastle

Seeing the band Chicago at #Ravinia this year with @fantasyyeti.bsky.social. I feel so grown up. #music #Chicago #festivals
I have only one of my musical idols that I haven’t seen live in concert yet, and TBH I had made peace with the fact that I probably wouldn’t. Then, earlier today…BOOM. Tickets to see GRACE JONES in Chicago are secured. Excited doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel. #gracejones #ravinia

People that have been to Ravinia, highland park Illinois, tell me things I should know about the venue, ticket buying, hotels nearby, places to eat, and whatever else you think I should know.

I took this photo of Charlie Puth in 2023 at his Ravinia show in Illinois (there is a story involved) and I'm just really proud of it

Throwback Thursday: I went up to #Ravinia many years ago to hear #KiriTeKanawa sing the #VierLetzteLieder of #RichardStrauß & it was one of the most memorable evenings of #music of my entire life: here's her "Beim Schlafengehen":

You know what I don't understand? People who shell out $50 for an outdoor concert and talk the entire time #Ravinia
