Explain why the arts, particularly music, help change the lives of Our youth from underserved communities and low-income households.
Music changes all of us. Through music, we process our emotions and heal our souls. We come together around expression, listening, and a deep knowing of one another. We learn history, culture, and languages. We develop a sense of belonging in some of our city and nation's most significant architectural and cultural assets. We can see beyond our own neighborhoods and experiences. Music is the passport to our world! Through Uniting Voices Chicago, our brilliant youth have access to a positive community through which they can discover the power of their voice and embrace our shared humanity.
Style and persona constitute a significant part of being an artist; describe how Uniting Voices performances directly reflect your personal style.
Uniting Voices concerts and events balance timelessness with cutting-edge concepts. They are unique and original, which is how I like to think of my style. I'm always open to new, innovative ideas!
