Ravinia Festival Outing: Jethro Tull

Join CFE members on Friday, August 18, for an evening under the stars at the Ravinia. We will enjoy music by Jethro Tull: The Seven Decades. Led by Ian Anderson, this concert will feature a rich collection of the best-known Jethro Tull repertoire from 1968 to date. Fans will recognize the key songs from various albums—songs that put Jethro Tull and Ian Anderson on the map during these seven decades.

To attend, you must purchase a general admission ticket (lawn) through the Ravinia website and register on the CFE website, so we know who is attending.  Chairs may be rented online, or you can bring your own. A table(s) will be provided. We will send the CFE park location the night of via text & email.  As we get closer to the concert date, additional food, drink, etc., suggestions will be added.

While at Ravinia, don't miss the Billie Holiday at Sugar Hill exhibit in the Ravinia Associates Board Gallery. Featuring photographs by Jerry Dantzic, the exhibit is a vivid, intimate, compelling portrait of the consummate jazz and blues singer. In 1957, two years before her death, Billie Holiday performed for one week at the nightclub Sugar Hill in Newark, New Jersey. Photojournalist Jerry Dantzic freelanced for her record label and spent the week with her, capturing the jazz singer on and off the club’s stage. His intimate photographs were taken at a successful yet precarious time in Holiday’s life — the 42-year-old musician had just performed at Carnegie Hall and released the autobiography Lady Sings the Blues, but she was also struggling with a heroin addiction.  This exhibition was organized for travel by the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service in collaboration with the Jerry Dantzic Archives.
