The Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra’s rotating cast of wand wavers coaxes classics from 75 musicians as the organization searches for a new music director among this season’s star conductors. Maestra Rei Hotoda greets returning guests and first-time attendees with “From Russia With Love,” a collection of swooning pieces that includes Stravinsky’s folk ballet Petrushka and Fauré’s Prelude from Penelope, making for an evening as romantic as a valentine painted in borscht.

As the next installment in the Sunday Series, the Harris Bank Holiday Concert sends spirits of all ages soaring on the fully orchestrated wings of holiday tunes. After a greeting by Hubert the Lion, chorus-led sing-alongs inspire crowds to exuberant renditions of “Frosty the Snowman” and its little-sung sequel, “Lukewarm the Puddleman.” Markand Thaker helms “No Place Like Home,” featuring three composers’ odes to their birthplaces. Copland celebrates American bravery on the brink of war with Fanfare for the Common Man, and Rachmaninoff delivers a driving tribute to the music of Russia in his Piano Concerto no. 2. Finally, Dvořák’s Symphony no. 8 lilts with the cheery influences of the composer’s beloved Bohemian folk music and secret obsession with Sesame Street.
