Boasting powerful voices and memorable melodies, this Canadian quartet of singers Remigio Pereira, Victor Micallef, Fraser Walters and Clifton Murray has performed worldwide and shared the stage with legends like Andrea Bocelli, Celine Dion, Sting and Paul McCartney. For this concert, part of a 70-city North American tour, the fellas formerly known as The Canadian Tenors will sing selections from their latest album, Lead With Your Heart, as well as some of the group's past hits like "The Prayer," "Amazing Grace," "Forever Young" and "Hallelujah."

Written on Sep 24 2012It was a spectacular performance. My 13 yr. old son and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was amazing to see how Yo-Yo Ma plays with such passion and conviction. It was my son's first visit to Ravinia and he asked me if we could go again next season.

Written on Sep 12 2012Our seats were not great but decent and the event itself was quite wonderful. The weather was a bit cold and it rained off and on, so it was especially nice to be in the pavilion instead of on the lawn. The sound was excellent and the monitors allowed us to pick up on the musicians' facial expressions and hand movements.

Written on Sep 10 2012My first time at Ravinia. Ate there before the show. The food was good.
What a performance by Yo-Yo Ma and The Knights. It was an incredible experience. Outstanding musicianship throughout the evening. Watching Yo-Yo Ma is a joy. He is so into the music, and when he was not playing, you could see him listening to and enjoying the other performers. And when he rejoined the Knights for the final piece, he just sat in the back with the other musicians, not pretentious, not having to be front and center the whole time. A great time was had by my wife (a violinist), my daughter (a cellist), and myself (not a nusician).

Written on Sep 10 2012Although we wound up in the next-to-the-last row, on the side, the seats were fine: good view of the stage and the sound (which is most important) was great.
First time we attended a performance by the Knights. What a terrific group! Loaded with talent and imagination. Yo-Yo is always great and performance was a perfect as always.

About the Ticket Supplier: Ravinia Festival
There's more to Ravinia than merely the world's greatest music. For as many people who walk through Ravinia's gate each summer, there are just as many ways to enjoy what they call "The Ravinia Experience."
For some, it all starts with a picnic picked up along the way, followed by a hop on the train and greeting your friends at your favorite spot on the lawn. Gradually, day turns into evening, and from the comfort of your perfect lawn spot, it culminates in a great concert by candlelight as you gaze at the stars above.
For others, it's a dinner reservation at one of Ravinia's popular on-site restaurants followed by a casual stroll to the Pavilion, where you go to see and hear the stars on the stage.
Bring your own lavish picnic, treat yourself to an ice cream cone at intermission, or just come as you are and leave the details to them.
Since 1904, Ravinia has been Chicago's "sound of summer," a place where you can meet up with your friends, have a wonderful time and hear some of the greatest music in the world. They've got stars on the stage and stars in the sky, and it's all within your reach. Enjoy!
