Classical music staple Discover Symphony orchestra played its last live concert in Park Ridge after 28 years amid COVID Illinois setbacks.
A staple of classical music on the North Shore, the Discover Symphony played its last concert on Sunday afternoon in Park Ridge.
The 28-year-old nonprofit shuttered operations after losing their main performance space and not being able to replace a primary sponsor.Attending Sunday were longtime members of the orchestra and students of the performers, a group whose tight connections were frayed in the end with the pandemic-related challenge of getting people to come out."You feel like family when you play together with these people for so long. I sit next to a bassoon player, for example.
"I personally feel like everybody needs beautiful art. And I think that music is just an art form that that feeds the soul," said Tamara Glassburg, who plays the violin."I am honored to be playing with these phenomenal musicians they are outstanding players and they bring out the best in me," Parisoli said.In the end, some new sponsors were found, but not enough to change Discover Symphony's direction.
