community partners initiative
Ars Viva has begun a Community Partners Initiative that makes our concert tickets available to not-for-profit schools, churches & synagogues to sell as fundraisers for their organizations. By partnering with these groups, we help them raise needed funds while gaining new audience members for Ars Viva. If you are interested in participating in this program, please call 847-615-1811.

Young Artist Showcase
Ars Viva is interested in the development of young orchestral musicians. It has worked with local high school orchestra programs, allowing students to observe rehearsals and interact with Ars Viva musicians. String quartets and small chamber ensembles from high school programs and the Music Institute of Chicago have been invited to perform prior to Ars Viva concerts, and a few particularly gifted students have the opportunity to perform side-by-side with Ars Viva musicians at one concert each season
