Join us for rotating, outdoor pop-up performances by our Neighborhood Choir Programs, Dimension, and Voice of Chicago, on the Lake stage with Chicago’s skyline as our backdrop. The evening will conclude with a special performance by Voice of Chicago alongside Lisa Fischer, Grammy Award winning artist and star of 20 Feet from Stardom. The full schedule will be available soon.
