The Civic will also be taking part in the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's residency at the South Shore Cultural Center with full orchestra and chamber ensemble performances. Collaborative performances have included ensembles such as the First Baptist Festival Choir and the Kennedy-King Community Chorus. During the 1999-00 season the Civic launched two mentoring programs, Targeting Talented Children and Civic Apprentice, which form partnerships with several community music organizations to pair young people with Civic musicians for individualized, weekly activities. MusiCorps is a federally registered service mark owned by the Civic Orchestra of Chicago. Use of the service mark is not permitted without the written permission of the Civic Orchestra of Chicago.
All concerts are free and open to the public.
