About the event
A project led by Civic Orchestra Fellow and Cellist Philip Bergman, “Chicago Speaks, Chicago Listens" is a free event that pairs spoken remarks from Chicago’s community leaders with music performed by musicians of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. This season’s featured speakers come from nonprofit organizations that focus on women’s rights and gender justice. As a reflection on our speakers’ remarks Civic musicians will perform music written by women composers with Chicago connections.
Free, but PRE-REGISTRATION ENCOURAGED, as the event will be capped at 200 attendees. Please click the RSVP button to register. (You will be redirected to Eventbrite.)
