Chicago Young Musician Initiative

The Chicago Young Musician Initiative is a collaboration between Chicago's leading organizations in music education and the Institute for Learning, Access and Training at the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. The initiative seeks to extend and deepen the engagement of youth in music, foster critical mass and visibility among Chicago's youth music providers, and strengthen ties between Chicago's youth music organizations and the Venezuelan youth music program known as "El Sistema." The 2009 Festival of Youth in Music celebrates the achievements of young musicians in Chicago.
