On Monday night, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago joined forces with Grammy Award-winning sextet Eighth Blackbird for a program of contemporary music led by Lina González-Granados, anchored by Mason Bates' mystical Anthology of Fantastic Zoology. 📷: Todd Rosenberg

Huge thanks to Civic Orchestra of Chicago and Lina González-Granados for bringing to life my psychedelic bestiary Anthology of Fantastic Zoology in Chicago – love this orchestra and the amazing energy of the players!
