MIC Fall Fundraiser

 Come together and join the MIC community at beautiful and historic Nichols Concert Hall on Sunday, November 3 at 3 pm. The afternoon includes

special performances by faculty and students, a culminating community sing, opportunities for conversation, sweet treats, and more, all in support of scholarship and financial aid at the Music Institute of Chicago.

Each year MIC provides nearly $500,000 in scholarships and financial aid to students at all levels from across Chicago and surrounding metropolitan area. “Financial aid is the key to making the exceptional teaching and resources of the Music Institute accessible to all families, regardless of economic status,” said President and CEO Mark George. “This support also plays an integral role in making our commitment to serving a diverse community of learners a reality.”

This year, the concert is free. Contributions at all levels are welcome with a generous donor matching contributions up to $50,000.

The program will feature performances by members of the Music Institute’s world-class faculty, as well as selected students and ensembles from its Community Music School and Academy for gifted pre-college musicians.
 

The Music Institute also will announce the recipients of the second annual "Teacher of Note Awards," created to honor and express appreciation for the people who live the Music Institute’s mission every day: the 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.

A photo booth, meet and greet, and sweet treats for every guest follow the performance in the lobby. For those unable to attend in person, the concert will be available via livestream.

While there is no ticket fee, contributions of all sizes are welcome. “We especially encourage gifts in honor of our faculty and students,” George noted. “Charitable contributions—whether specific to an event, in honor of an individual, or for general operating support—all make it possible for the Music Institute to live its mission.”
