The John D. Harza Building, home of the Steans Institute

The Steans Institute for Young Artists is the Ravinia Festival's professional studies program for young musicians. Four programs comprise the Institute's summer season: the program for jazz; the classical programs for piano and strings and for singers; and the Sandra K. Crown Program for American Classic Music Theater. In each of the programs, young artists study with an internationally renowned faculty of artist/teachers, participate in concerts given as part of Ravinia's summer programming and attend Ravinia concerts.

We invite you to watch a short video to learn more about the efforts and history of the Steans Institute for Young Artists.
