This concert at Chicago’s Auditorium Theatre pairs Thee Phantom & The Illharmonic Hip‑Hop Orchestra—an act that blends hip‑hop lyricism with live orchestral arrangements—with Babatunde HipHopera, a hip‑hop‑infused theatrical performance. The program presents orchestral reinterpretations of hip‑hop alongside staged theatrical elements, offering a crossover experience that bridges live symphonic sound and urban performance.
