The Arts Section 02/19/23

On this edition of The Arts Section, host Gary Zidek visits the Chicago Botanic Garden to check out the annual Orchid Show. Contributor Dennis Polkow sits down with Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s music director Riccardo Muti. The CSO recently unveiled its 2023-24 schedule. The Dueling Critics, Kerry Reid and Jonathan Abarbanel, join Gary to review the world premiere play BOULEVARD OF BOLD DREAMS. Later in the show, Gary talks to the director of one of the longest running jazz festivals in the country. And we’ll hear about a book that serves up a sweet look back at the history of Chicago bakeries.
