Don't miss a special afternoon including performances by faculty and students, a community sing, and opportunities for conversation, sweet treats, and more - all in support of scholarship and financial aid at the Music Institute of Chicago.
Where: Nichols Concert Hall in Downtown Evanston
When: Sunday, November 3, 2024 at 3 pm
Each year MIC provides nearly $500,000 in scholarships and financial aid to students at all levels from across Chicago and surrounding metropolitan area. As MIC President Mark George explains, “financial aid is the key to making the exceptional teaching and resources of the Music Institute accessible to all families, regardless of economic status. This support also plays an integral role in making our commitment to serving a diverse community of learners a reality.”
Thanks to a generous donor, contributions will be matched up to $50,000!
Teacher of Note Award Presentation
The afternoon festivities also include announcement of the Second Annual Teacher of Note Award recipients. These awards honor and express appreciation for the people who live the Music Institute’s mission every day: our internationally acclaimed, award-winning faculty. The award recipients represent the excellence of the entire Music Institute faculty and demonstrate dedication, enthusiasm, and inspiration in their teaching.
In 2023, the Music Institute of Chicago honored piano faculty Christina Tio and cello faculty Bianca d'Avila do Prado.
While there is no ticket fee, contributions of all sizes are welcome.
