Hubbard Street Dance Chicago and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Chicago Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1891 by Theodore Thomas, who conducted it until his death in 1905. Orchestra Hall was built for it in 1904 with funds raised by public subscription; the hall is now part of Symphony Center, which was completed in 1997. Frederick Stock, Thomas's assistant, succeeded him and conducted the orchestra until 1942. have become quite the dynamic duo. For the fourth year in a row the no organizations are collaborating. This month's performance at Symphony Center features Mark-Anthony Turnage's commissioned score and choreographer du jour Jorma Elo's moves. In addition to working with CSO, Hubbard Street now tours specifically to perform with symphony orchestras. They have danced alongside the National Arts Centre Orchestra in Ottawa and the L.A. Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl--a gig they will repeat this Feb.-March. The performers are loving it and audiences are too. The day after their first performance together in 2004, Hubbard Street had the highest single day of ticket sales in its history. See www.hubbardstreetdance.com.
