Celebrate summer Chicago style with GRAMMY, Emmy and Oscar-winning artist COMMON performing LIVE with the Grant Park Orchestra. Guest conductor Anthony Parnther leads the Orchestra in an evening of essential songs by the acclaimed Chicago artist.
A native of Chicago's Calumet Heights neighborhood, Common first ascended the charts in the 1990s as a hip-hop artist but later transitioned to a successful acting career. He's won three GRAMMY awards, an Oscar, a Primetime Emmy, and a Golden Globe.
Academy Award, Emmy and Grammy-winning artist, actor, author, and activist, Common continues to break down barriers with a multitude of critically acclaimed roles, and continued success in all aspects of his career. Common can currently be seen starring in Apple TV+’s “Silo” as Robert Sims. This winter, he made his Broadway debut playing Junior in BETWEEN RIVERSIDE AND CRAZY. His latest album, A BEAUTIFUL REVOLUTION Part 2 was released in September 2021 and served as an inspiring follow up to his previous album, A BEAUTIFUL REVOLUTION Pt, which was released in March 2020.
In 2019, Common released his hit album LET LOVE, inspired by his work and experiences writing his New York Times best selling second memoir, LET LOVE HAVE THE LAST WORD. He has dedicated countless hours and has been deeply engaged in social justice and advocacy work around mass incarceration, mental health and voting. He launched the nonprofit Imagine Justice, and through his Common Ground Foundation, Common is dedicated to empowering high school students from underserved communities to become future leaders.
