JAZZPOSTERS - 10

Chicago Symphony Center Posters

For years the Symphony Center posters only came in one size, 24 x 37 ins., and were mounted on foam board. In 2013 I found a poster of the same design, but in paper, measuring 11 x 17 ins. I did not see another one for several years and contacted Symphony Center and found that they had been making them for a couple of years. The 11 x 17 inch size is the standard U.S. poster size and it make sense that they would begin using that size and putting posters up around the city.

The larger poster has always been used at Symphony Center in the boxes inside, and outside, the building to announce coming shows. If I have both sizes it is noted, otherwise only the one I have is listed.
