About the Community Music Festival
This spring the Music Institute of Chicago offers a community service project of unprecedented scope: 100 Concerts in 16 Days! This project takes place across the Chicago metro area at libraries, senior centers, hospitals, community centers, and countless other gathering places and performance venues. The Festival will showcase some of the more than 1,600 students who come from 86 communities in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs to study at MIC. The Music Institute of Chicago is one of the nation’s largest and oldest community music schools and is dedicated to transforming lives through music and music education. All MIC festival participants will be volunteering their time and through this and all of our other festival events, we hope to share some of the joy music brings us with all of you.
