Confirm the program, seating section, run time, pre-concert activity, accessibility arrangements, parking or transit plan, security guidance, and current ticket terms on the individual event page; use the Minneapolis address rather than Chicago's hall of the same name.

Countertenor John Holiday returns to Orchestra Hall to perform Carlos Simon’s orchestral song cycle Songs of Separation , a setting of texts by the 13th-century Persian Sufi mystic and poet Rūmī that meditates on loss, longing and the human experience of separation. Tracing a deeply expressive emotional arc—from grief and sorrow toward hope and affirmation—the work is brought vividly to life by Holiday, whose extraordinary, genre-defying voice has been praised by audiences and critics alike for its power, nuance and unmistakable individuality.
