Pledge to make a difference, together.
Our mission is to inspire and change lives through music. Founded as a single choir in Hyde Park at the height of the Civil Rights Movement in 1956, in a traditional year, we serve nearly 5,000 youth from every Chicago zip code. Our founder, Reverend Christopher Moore, believed in using music to unite youth from diverse backgrounds. That simple yet powerful mission has grown exponentially, with programs in 92 city schools, 11 neighborhoods, a choir for boys with changing voices and the world-renowned Voice of Chicago. Under the leadership of President and Artistic Director Josephine Lee, Uniting Voices Chicago's mission has been elevated to a world stage, using music to create global citizens and revolutionizing the youth choral arts.
