In case you missed it, Time Out Chicago interviewed our Artistic Director Deborah Sobol about the vision behind Rush Hour Concerts for an article that ran at the beginning of the summer. This follows on the heels of a mention in last year's "Outsider Art" article that ran in early August (second-to-last paragraph, with a quote from Managing Director Julie Hutchison).

In the Love/Hate roundup found on the second page of the Arts section of last Thursday's issue of the Chicago Tribune (July 13) was a rave for RH: Jason McCabe of Chicago loves "listening to classical music every Tuesday at Rush Hour Concerts at St. James Cathedral [65 E. Huron St.]. The free 30-minute concerts start at 5:45 p.m. so I can stop by on my way home from work, and they even serve free drinks and snacks beforehand!" Thanks for the plug, Jason! Say hi to us hard-working staff next time you come!

Last week's issue of the Chicago Reader mentioned RH as part of their series focusing on free events around the city. Writer Megan Roberts appreciates that the scheduling of the reception and concert doesn't conflict with her dinner plans.

Earlier this summer, Chicagoist mentioned RH's involvement with the Silk Road Chicago program. Our musical caravan is far from over -- in addition to tomorrow's partnership with the French Consulate, July 25th's concert is in partnership with the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China, and the concert on August 29 -- this season's final concert -- is in partnership with the Consulate General of Germany.
