中文名：Chicago Symphony Chorus 外文名：Chicago Symphony Chorus 国籍：美国 生日：1957-09-22 简介：The history of the Chicago Symphony Chorus began on September 22, 1957, when the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO) announced that Margaret Hillis would organize and train a symphony chorus. Music Director Fritz Reiner’s original intent was to utilize the Chorus for the two weeks of subscription concerts that season, performing — George Frideric Handel’s Messiah in December and Giuseppe Verdi’s Requiem in April. When Bruno Walter informed the Orchestra’s management that his March 1958 appearances would be his last in Chicago the board president Eric Oldberg insisted that Walter conduct Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Requiem utilizing the new Chorus. During that first season, it would have been logistically impossible for Hillis to audition and prepare a new Chorus for three major works within less than four months. As an interim fix the Apollo Chorus of Chicago was used for the Christmas Messiah concerts. 荣誉记录：1977 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: VERDI Requiem 1978 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BEETHOVEN Missa solemnis 1979 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BRAHMS A German Requiem 1982 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BERLIOZ The Damnation of Faust 1983 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: HAYDN The Creation 1984 - James Levine, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BRAHMS A German Requiem 1986 - James Levine, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: ORFF Carmina burana 1991 - Sir Georg Solti, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BACH Mass in B Minor, BWV 232 1993 - Pierre Boulez, conductor and Margaret Hillis, chorus director: BARTÓK Cantata profana 2010 - Riccardo Muti, conductor and Duain Wolfe, chorus director: VERDI Messa da Requiem
