ARMONIA WITH THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MEXICAN ART
The Armonía Community Partnership Program provides interaction with CSO and Civic Orchestra musicians through ensemble concerts, lecture/demonstrations, and educational programs at the National Museum of Mexican Art. During the 2006-2007 season, a Chicago Symphony Orchestra ensemble and a Civic Orchestra of Chicago ensemble presented concerts at the National Museum of Mexican Art. A popular after-school music class, Musica en el Museo, helped students make connections between music and art.
CAMINOS A LA MUSICA WITH THE RESURRECTION PROJECT
Through this community partnership between the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, The Resurrection Project and the National Museum of Mexican Art, community members have the unique opportunity to participate in free and low-cost concerts, events and workshops at Symphony Center as well as in their own communities. Through the newly designed Caminos a la Musíca program, members can attend concerts at Symphony Center while their children attend music workshops so that they may share the concert experiences with their families. In addition to these CSO concerts, community schools and social service organizations such as St. Pius, St. Procopius, Cooper Dual Language Academy and Gads Hill Center receive on-site performances by our Civic Orchestra chamber groups and information about music instruction classes available to children through the CSO’s community resources.
