Pulitzer Prize finalist and CCC alumnus Ted Hearne returns home to Chicago Children's Choir to lead Voice of Chicago in an exploration of his compositions, hailed by Pitchfork as "some of the most expressive, socially engaged music in recent memory--from any genre."
Voice of Chicago is presented by Allstate.
Please note that the works on this concert overtly deal with themes of racism, gentrification and other topics in modern social and political discourse. In order to ensure the best experience for all attendees, we recommend this concert for patrons 12 years of age or older.
