ALLAN DENNIS There are times when we can be swept along with what is happening in our lives and there are times in our lives when we need to create what opportunities might be there for us next. How we respond to those times makes us who we are, what we can do, and how we can do it. This year - this time right now - is exactly that for MYAC and I hope you will all dream the dream with us. Covid-19 put us in our bunkers and, at the same time, helped us realize how much we need to create music and be with others. The opportunity had become too easy for us to play a Brahms Symphony or a Duke Ellington chart or a meaningful new choral work by Gary Fry or a string quartet by Beethoven. Those opportunities to experience greatness were too common-place and I’m not sure we did our best to experience them. Now we all are so excited to be together playing music that we realize how important it is to us, to our inner selves, to our basic being. But, in the process, we need to PERSEVERE TODAY and power through these difficult times. When Covid-19 struck we all appropriately went into our “bunkers” and went into “protect ourselves” mode but MYAC’s Board of Directors, Staff, Faculty and even our students and parents realized that this is the time for MYAC to be planning for the next 25 years. While we have a chance to think about our mission “to build a home with the power of music to enrich the lives of our students and their communities”, while we had a chance to dream about what we might do to open our music and life learning environment to more and different students and families, while we objectively looked at what we are now as an organization, we started to CREATE TOMORROW by thinking what we want to be when we come out of this. This is a year like 2000 was for MYAC. We moved into this beautiful building and started Jazz and Choral Programs soon after because we had the room and interest. This year will go down in our history books as a turning point in MYAC’s legacy, a pivotal time of growth and leadership. We will come out of this year stronger, more dedicated and more focused on reaching more students and having them realize the beauty and value music brings into our lives. Thank you for joining us in this amazing opportunity year! PERSEVERE TODAY, CREATE TOMORROW!!! Sincerely, Allan Dennis MYAC Founder & President 7 8 BRILLIANCE AWAITS.

A neighborhood radically transformed for the better is the answer in Maybe Something Beautiful, a new virtual short film for kids, families and schools from Chicago Children’s Theatre and the Negaunee Music Institute at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO). Inspired by the award-winning book by F. Isabel Campoy and Theresa Howell, illustrated by Rafael López, Maybe Something Beautiful brings together five CSO musicians performing classical works by Latino composers, bilingual English/Spanish narration, and colorful, playful puppetry to tell a true story about how even the smallest artists among us can accomplish something big. Maybe Something Beautiful, ideal viewing for children ages 5 to 10, will premiere Thursday, April 1 at 10 a.m. CT in a Facebook Premiere event cohosted by Chicago Children’s Theatre and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association. Immediately after, the 13-minute video will be posted on CCTv: Virtual Theatre and Learning from Chicago Children’s Theatre and CSOtv for free, on-demand viewing for children and families in Chicago and around the world. Kids of all ages will love and be inspired by Mira, the young protagonist in Maybe Something Beautiful who decides one day to paste her drawing of a sun on one of the dark walls of an alley, just to bring brightness to the smiles of her neighbors.

  • Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association Announces Update for 2020/21 Season Programming
    For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: July 16, 2020 Eileen Chambers 312-294-3092 Dana Navarro 312-294-3090 CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES UPDATE FOR 2020/21 SEASON PROGRAMMING CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) announces that CSOA-presented 2020/21 season programs originally scheduled to take place beginning September 17 through December 23, 2020, have been canceled. Programs include Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), Symphony Center Presents, MusicNOW and public programs of the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO, including Civic Orchestra of Chicago concerts. The decision follows careful review of the rapidly evolving conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic and is in accordance with the State of Illinois and City of Chicago’s multi-phase recovery plans, and in response to the current safety guidelines from public health officials. The CSOA continues to explore the possibility of rescheduling affected programs in the future and to develop ideas for presenting smaller-scale live and online performances this fall, with more information available in August. The CSOA will host its largest annual fundraising event, Symphony Ball, online, moving from the previously announced date of Saturday, October 3 to Saturday, October 24, with additional event information to be shared soon. “With the COVID-19 pandemic and its related restrictions on public gatherings still in place and our ongoing priority to ensure the health and safety of our patrons, musicians and staff, we reached the conclusion that it was not possible to move forward with the programs we had originally planned for the fall,” said CSOA President Jeff Alexander. “As we look ahead and make plans for ensemble concerts for the fall, we are also eager for the day when Maestro Muti and the full orchestra can come together again to share music with local, national and international audiences.
