CMC brings the excitement of live music right into the classroom with our Young People’s Concerts! This free program offers performances to K-8 CPS schools and those with undeserved populations. Interactive and engaging, this program introduces students to a wide variety of music and musical concepts. Teachers can apply for performances to come to their schools or make reservations for a performance. CMC partners with Streamable Learning to make performances available to schools as virtual experiences.

“Whether it's a trip to the Chicago Cultural Center or an in-school concert, I've made the CMC concert series an instrumental part of my Music curriculum.”
