Overview

Reflections
Our fast-paced world is filled with disinformation and chaotic news cycles that can leave us feeling disoriented and with little time for moments of self-reflection. In collaboration with New Music Chicago, the Civic Orchestra Fellows present a program of chamber music inspired by the ways in which we analyze nature, color, sound, daily observations, evolving technology and emotion. By deeply noticing our experiences and surroundings, we can find hope and little joys that unite us and motivate us to make time for art and growth in our ever-changing world.
