Supporting Ravinia and our Reach Teach Play^® education and community programs

Supporting Music Education

All proceeds benefit Ravinia and our Reach Teach Play programs, which serve over 20,000 students annually in Lake and Cook Counties year-round. Ravinia opens doors to the positive impact of music through Reach Teach Play, providing children and families in underserved schools and communities with live performances and music education programs where they learn and live, as well as at Ravinia.

Honoring Music Education’s Leaders

In addition to raising money and awareness for Ravinia’s music education programs, Music Matters annually recognizes inspirational philanthropic and educational leaders. In 2025, the Associates honor Ravinia Trustee Audrey L. Weaver for her generous, lifelong dedication to supporting Ravinia, especially the festival’s performances and the Reach Teach Play music education and community engagement programs.
