Ravinia Welcomes Home Asst. Conductor George Stelluto

June 13, 2019 in Classical, Music Education

George Stelluto, music director of the Peoria Symphony Orchestra, makes his summer home at Ravinia, where he serves as assistant conductor, understudying the repertoire to be performed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and ready to leap to the podium at a moment’s notice should an emergency arise.

Stelluto, who makes his San Francisco Symphony debut next week leading the score of Call Me By Your Name with the film, will bring a contingent of Peoria Symphony VIPs to Ravinia on August 18 to experience the great Itzhak Perlman lead the CSO in the annual Tchaikovsky Spectacular, featuring the 1812 Overture augmented with live cannons.
