The school districts believe Symphony Center is too close to Millennium Park and are concerned that more unrest like what happened last weekend could be coming.
-- A concert involving elementary and high school students from multiple west suburban schools has been moved from Chicago Symphony Center to Oak Park and River Forest High School due to worries about unrest downtown again this weekend.
The concert was to be held Friday evening at Symphony Center, 220 S. Michigan Ave. It was to involve band, orchestra, and choir students form the Leyden High Schools – East Leyden in Franklin Park and West Leyden in Northlake – as well as Franklin Park School District 84, Rhodes School District 84.5 in River Grove, Rosemont Elementary School District 78, and Schiller Park School District 81.
About 2,000 tickets have already been purchased by school families and the school community, a letter to students and families noted. But the school districts believe Symphony Center is too close to Millennium Park and are concerned that more unrest like what happened last weekend could be coming. "We have been actively monitoring the situation unfolding in downtown Chicago over the past couple of weeks, given the proximity of Millennium Park to that of the Chicago Symphony Center location. We have coordinated with local law enforcement agencies and what we know at this time is that there is a reason to believe that active demonstrations may occur in Millennium Park this weekend," school district officials wrote.
