NOVA VII: in bloom

NOVA VII: in bloom, June 2024 — collaborating with the Chicago Parks Foundation, CME will perform Eric Malmquist’s work Open, Clear, and Free using the history of the Chicago Parks District from the city’s indigenous history to the World’s Columbian Exposition, to present day green space. In addition, works connected to nature and the eternal spring that music can create will be premiered by invited composers at city conservatories in honor of our 10th anniversary season in Chicago.
