Riccardo Muti’s American repertoire

Following his extraordinary performance of William Schuman’s  ninth symphony, the Chicago maestro is now planning more.

Chicago has sent us a list of American works – including the Schuman Symphony – that Maestro Muti has performed or is about to perform with the CSO. Next season he will lead a new work by American composer in residence Missy Mazzoli.
