“The grand opening of the Hunter Pavilion marks a historic milestone for Ravinia,” says President and CEO Jeffrey P. Haydon. “It is particularly meaningful that this state-of-the-art venue will serve as the inaugural stage for our debut artists. We are finding that the pavilion’s enhanced acoustics and sophisticated production capabilities are a powerful draw for world-class talent eager to perform in a venue that doesn’t just host music, but creates an atmosphere that leaves both artists and audiences equally inspired.”
