Be Connected. Experience ESO. The Elgin Symphony Orchestra experience is unmatched for a fun, relaxing, cultural experience. Patrons can enjoy a drink, special desserts and even shopping in the lobby of the Hemmens. After Saturday night performances, the audience is invited to “Mingle with the Musicians” at local restaurants. From start to finish – the ESO brings world class, big city entertainment without the hassles of the big city. The ESO plays at the Hemmens Cultural Center in Elgin and The Schaumburg Prairie Center for the Arts.
