Plans for Chicago Voices were announced by Ms. Inspired in part by Renee Fleming’s artistic leadership of American Voices at the Kennedy Center in 2013, Chicago Voices is a joint project with Lyric Unlimited, Lyric’s department devoted to education, community engagement and new artistic initiatives. Partnering with Chicago Public Library, Chicago History Museum and Columbia College Chicago, Chicago Voices will engage and interact with the entire Chicago community in innovative, resounding ways. Chicago Voices is sparked by the idea that there has never been a more crucial time to invite the whole city to find common ground in our musical riches, to honor the great voices of our past, and to nurture the evolving musical life of the city today. Chicago’s musical heritage is one of the city’s greatest gifts to the world.

Chicago – Lyric Opera and its Creative Consultant Renee Fleming are excited to announce Chicago Voices, a groundbreaking, multi-year initiative celebrating Chicago’s vibrant, diverse vocal music culture.
