Leading composers, arrangers, performers, music historians, and conductors meet with students of music for discussion and performances. Some programs, which focus on a particular concept or performance analyses may be sub-categorized as master classes.
The Meet the Musician program fosters a passion and understanding of music in relation to the humanities. By augmenting existing and non-existing school music programs with Meet the Author programming, we have brought music to life in dozens of Chicagoland classrooms.
Participating musicians have included:
- pianist Awadagin Pratt
- composer Anthony Davis
- vocalist and performer John Buccino
- composer David Stock
- composer Bruce Adolphe
- vocalist and performer Andrea Marcovicci
