The Chicago Symphony announces a second very important gift. The Chicago-based Negaunee Foundation has donated $15 million. Added to the gift of the Zell Family Foundation this makes a total income of $32 million for the CSO.
The mission of the Negaunee Music Institute at the CSO is to create and sustain connections to music for individuals and communities by sharing the extraordinary musical resources of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Through its educational, family and community programs, the Institute engages more than 200,000 children, teens and adults of diverse incomes and backgrounds each year.
