“It will prepare you very well for jobs that will come your way down the road.” – Bill Buchman, CSO Assistant Principal Bassoon

Since 1997, selected groups of Civic Orchestra musicians have participated in MusiCorps®, a music education and advocacy program that gives musicians opportunities to teach, mentor and perform at Chicago Public Schools, Chicago Park District fieldhouses and other community venues throughout the city.

If you are a regular or associate Civic musician for the 2011/12 season and would like to audition for MusiCorps please find more information here >
