Bridging America Tours

The Bridging America Tour is a cherished Uniting Voices Chicago initiative that creates bonds between young people all over the United States.

During these multi-city runouts to all corners of America, singers in our Neighborhood Choir program perform concerts for audiences in new places, create friendships with peers at joint workshops and learn about the diverse history of the U.S. through music.

Voice Placements

The voice placement process is quick and simple, open to students in grades three and up. Singers do not need to have prior experience. For the 2022-23 program year, new singers will be accepted on a rolling basis as space permits.
