Join us in Chicago on Saturday, November 11 as we celebrate Prima Ballerina Maria Tallchief and the release of the new quarter in her honor. Presented by the National Women’s History Museum, the United States Mint, and Lyric Opera of Chicago, this inspiring program, hosted by Bill Kurtis, will include a panel discussion, remarks by special guests—including Katherine Harvey and Maria Tallchief’s daughter, Elise Paschen—and performances by Joffrey Ballet students and artists from Lyric’s Patrick G. and Shirley W. Ryan Opera Center.
