CSO Sounds & Stories » Negaunee Music Institute

The Negaunee Music Institute shares the extraordinary musical resources of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to create connections to music for individuals and communities across Chicago and around the world. Built on the CSO’s rich history of education and community engagement programming that originated in the early part of the twentieth century, the work of the Institute provides opportunities for people of all ages with diverse backgrounds to actively participate in the life of the Orchestra.

Under the visionary leadership of CSO Zell Music Director Riccardo Muti and Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma, the Institute’s Learning and Training Programs include a suite of CSO concerts for school and family audiences, school partnerships, a training orchestra and fellowship for emerging professional musicians, intensive training and performance opportunities for young musicians, and collaboratively designed community engagement projects.
