The Civic Orchestra of Chicago is proud to announce the 2017/18 class of Civic Fellows. Throughout the season, in addition to playing alongside their colleagues in the Civic Orchestra, the fellows will perform chamber music in schools and communities across the city, design and implement their own community engagement projects, serve as leaders for creative projects facilitated by the CSO’s Judson and Joyce Green Creative Consultant Yo-Yo Ma, teach at community youth orchestras of The People’s Music School, and more.

Check out their blog at civicfellows.org for fellows news, essays and reflections on past activity.
