Rising Star Showcase Tickets

The Rising Star Showcase is a collaborative effort by the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) and Friends of the IPO, showcasing emerging talent beside seasoned professionals. Since its first edition in 2009, the event has grown into a beloved community classical fundraiser that supports the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra. In 2025, the concert returns to Flossmoor, IL, at the welcoming Flossmoor Community Church, with master of ceremonies Albert M. Jackson guiding an evening of virtuosic performances.

Proceeds from this event directly benefit the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra, helping to fund rehearsals, concerts, and outreach programs that enrich the local cultural landscape. Whether you’re a longtime classical music enthusiast or discovering new talent, secure your seats for an evening of artistry and community impact.

Meet the performers for the 2025 Rising Star Showcase: Anderson Pries (piano), Veronica Tartack (violin), Aaron Alexander (French horn), Anthony Adduci (organ), Jaciel Austin (harp), Nathan Freeland (cello), and Neel Patel (violin). Each artist contributes a unique voice to a program designed to highlight technical mastery and expressive depth. The master of ceremonies for the evening is Albert M. Jackson, ensuring a seamless and memorable experience. The venue, Flossmoor Community Church, offers a warm, acoustically inviting space in Flossmoor, just outside Chicago, making it a convenient destination for concert-goers across the region.
