Meet the Musician

Sponsor Image 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
