citizen musician “Through music, we can bring together lots of people in one place. And, we move the emotions of the people. We can do things that governments can’t do, and we can change the world. We’re like superheroes!”—Student musician from the Carlos Chavez Youth Orchestra, while participating in the CSO’s 2011 Chicago Youth in Music Festival. From its inception, the Chicago Symphony Orchestra has believed in the transformative power of music. We change lives and serve communities, both in Chicago and around the world, through music-making. Citizen Musician serves as our guiding philosophy to sustain and enhance the role music plays in cultural and civic life. It encompasses a range of community-based programs, both in Chicagoland and internationally as the CSO travels throughout the year. These vital activities flow from the visionary leadership of Music Director Riccardo Muti and Yo-Yo Ma, our Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant. In the coming season, the Citizen Musician movement will touch an even wider audience. We hope you can be part of it. Watch for more details soon! facebook.com/citizenmusician
