In collaboration with Purpose Over Pain, the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra presents this special concert celebrating eight years of the Notes for Peace program. Launched in 2018, Notes for Peace empowers Chicago families who have lost loved ones to gun violence to compose, record and perform original songs of tribute. Join Civic Orchestra of Chicago Fellows and the families of Purpose Over Pain, together with guest artists from the U.K.-based organization Irene Taylor Trust, Chicago-area vocalists and CSO Artist-in-Residence Joyce DiDonato, for an inspiring evening that demonstrates the healing power of music.
With guidance from the Civic Fellows, guest teaching artists from the U.K.-based Irene Taylor Trust and professional vocalists, parents compose, perform live and professionally record their music, which is then featured alongside family photos and lyrics on notesforpeace.org.
