NMI Community Partners

The Negaunee Music Institute carries out a variety of programs that explore innovative ways to bring music beyond the concert hall and connect with people across Chicago. These initiatives foster partnerships with organizations and individuals that help us to discover new connections and create shared musical experiences.
