Gehry

Millenium Park on a fall afternoon in October.  The light was perfect, casting lovely shadows of the lighting trusses and lamps on the metal skin that gives form to architect Frank Gehry's Jay Pritzker Pavillon.  The Pavillion opened on July 16, 2004, and has become the venue for the Chicago Jazz Festival and the Grant Park Symphony.

The bandshell has seating for 4,000 patrons, with the lawn accommodating an additional 7,000 people.
