Overview

Notes for Peace is an initiative of the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra that empowers families across Chicago who have lost children to gun violence to create original songs of tribute. Members of the Civic Orchestra Fellowship Program and guest artists from the U.K.-based Irene Taylor Trust work with parents from the support and advocacy group Purpose Over Pain to write, record and perform these songs.

This concert will feature previously written Notes for Peace songs, celebrating the families who have taken part in this project since its beginning and the community that has come from it.

The program will be announced from the stage.
