Chicago's celebration of the Blackhawks' latest Stanley Cup championship includes some of the city's most accomplished classical musicians.

The Chicago Symphony Orchestra paid tribute to the Blackhawks in their final program of the season Thursday night by playing the team's goal and victory song, "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis.

Take it away, music director Riccardo Muti:

As the orchestra played the United Center staple, stagehands waved banners from the wings.

The orchestra also played the song back in 2013, the last time prior to 2015 that the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup.

Now we just need to get this version played at the arena.
