Since 1961, the Elgin Symphony League has supported our award-winning orchestra’s commitment to artistic excellence, innovative programming and social advocacy for the diverse communities it serves. Our Orchestra Buffet, cooked with care by our members, is served to the musicians at concert intermissions. Our Lobby Boutique offers fair-trade gifts, accessories and music- themed jewelry. Our Mingle with the Musicians provides an opportunity for concert-goers to chat and snack informally with the orchestra members.
We invite you to join us as ambassadors to the community on behalf of ESO. To attend our meetings and meet our guest speakers, please call Jeanne Hebeisen at 847-741-6264 or email Patty Harkin at pharkin@gmail.com.

Elgin Symphony League Boutique
A large portion of the Elgin Symphony League’s donation to the orchestra each year is from proceeds of sales at the boutique. The boutique is in the lobby before each concert and during intermissions. All major credit cards, cash and checks are accepted.
The Elgin Symphony League Boutique is now online for your convenience! Even though the Hemmens is closed, you can still shop with us for holiday home décor and jewelry for your friends and family and, of course, yourself. So you can still find gifts and décor at the same high quality and low prices you have come to expect from us.
Go to ESOBoutique.com to shop with us. While supplies last, you’ll find great bargains and help your Symphony at the same time. Because of COVID restrictions, the ESO office is closed to the public at this time. After ordering and paying for your purchase online, you may pickup your purchases by appointment between 1 PM and 4 PM on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and between 6 PM and 8 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays at the ESO Office, 20 DuPage Court, Elgin 60120. (Instructions will be provided at order checkout.)
These are difficult times, and we appreciate, not only your order, but also your willingness to pick it up! Together, we’ll make the Symphony strong again!
