Rush Hour Concerts Return June 3, 2025!



Mark your calendars—Rush Hour Concerts are back!

Starting June 3, join us every Tuesday at 5:45 PM (with a pre-concert talk at 5:15 PM) at St. James Cathedral, 65 E. Huron, for free, world-class chamber music performances. Unwind after work with an evening of exceptional music in the heart of Chicago.

This spring, CMC expanded the reach of our music through the Concerts for Wellbeing and Rejuvenation program, bringing our Hess Concerts musicians to new audiences across Chicago.

• On April 10, percussionist Britton-René Collins performed a captivating marimba concert at Atlas Regional Senior Center.

• On May 7, the talented guitar duo Ziggy and Miles delighted audiences at Connecting Edgewater.



These performances reflect our commitment to sharing world-class music with all, fostering connection and rejuvenation through the arts.
