According to the Chicago Sun-Times, “…the Harris continues to be an astonishingly beautiful place to listen to music. Its acoustics cradle sound like a velvet-lined jewel box. There is a sense of sumptuous depth to the theater, an aural atmosphere that imparts an overall glow but also allows individual music voices to sparkle in their own right.”
Harris Theater represents years of planning by Chicago’s philanthropic, arts, business and government leaders. The lakefront theater is the new, state-of-the-art downtown home for twelve of Chicago’s finest music and dance companies, including Music of the Baroque, which joined the Music and Dance Theater effort in 1994 and helped with its planning.
The heart of the theater, including its 1,525-seat auditorium, is built underground. A lower lobby gives concertgoers direct access to the adjoining underground Millennium Park Garage. The theater extends Chicago’s vibrant performing arts district east to Lake Michigan, and links it with the museum campus and many other cultural institutions along Michigan Avenue.
