Composers and musicians make community programs more meaningful and enduring by investing them with an added creative and expressive dimension. The Chapter seeks to form a core group of on-going partnerships with a wide variety of excellent community organizations.
Artists earn fees for their creative work while supporting worthy organizational goals and programs.
Invariably, such community engagement initiatives feature performances of new work produced by musicians in the course of the projects. Like all other ACF Chapters, the Chicago Chapter's work has inspired an ever-increasing number of composers, performers and community organizations of various kinds to seek its help and support. TBA The Chapter serves the greater Chicago area, all of Illinois, southern Wisconsin and northern Indiana. Shown here are members of Gallery 37 Jazz Band at the Chicago Jazz Festival.
