Chicago Symphony Orchestra: Barbara Cook's 85th Birthday Celebration

Featuring Richard Kaufman, Conductor

One of five 2011 Kennedy Center honorees, Barbara Cook has been an iconic performer for half a century, from her days as Broadway’s favorite ingénue (Cunegonde in Candide, Marian the Librarian in The Music Man, Amalia in She Loves Me) to her second career as a concert and recording artist and—at Ravinia’s Steans Music Institute—a mentor and pedagogue. At 85, she shows no signs of slowing down, earning a 2010 Tony Award nomination for her turn in Sondheim on Sondheim
