It was a magical - and musical - evening high atop the Park Hyatt Toronto as Lynn Osmond, President and CEO of Choose Chicago welcomed members of the media and travel industry for a dinner reception overlooking the city followed by a performance of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra led by famed Maestro, Riccardo Muti, at nearby Koerner Hall. Muti takes his final bows this year as conductor and the special concert was a treat for attendees as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra last played Toronto in 1914 - marking the first return in a century. 

A classically trained clarinetist herself - and a Canadian who originally hails from St. Catharines, Ontario - Osmond is the first woman to lead Choose Chicago and was in familiar territory, sharing details about Chicago's vibrant performing arts, incredible restaurant scene, iconic architecture and more. 

During Choose Chicago’s visit to Canada’s number one media market, Fathom Co secured numerous media interviews and organized this memorable evening for some of the city’s top media and influencers.
