Now in its twelfth season, the Collaborative Works Festival is Chicago’s premier showcase of art song and vocal chamber music.
Taking inspiration from Walt Whitman's opening inscription to his seminal work Leaves of Grass, the 2023 Festival theme will center around the question: what does it mean to sing of “One’s-self” in today’s America? In probing this question, CAIC’s season will examine the art of song as an expression of identity, using the medium to explore the complexity, multiplicity, and intersectionality of identity in America today.
Our 2023 Collaborative Works Festival brings internationally acclaimed mezzo-soprano Zoie Reams, countertenor Reginald Mobley and baritone Laureano Quant and pianist Brent Funderburk to CAIC's stages, joining co-founders, artistic director Nicholas Phan and director of education Shannon McGinnis for these two evenings celebrating the self and song!
Master Class: Tuesday, September 5 - 6:30 pm
Festival artist Reginald Mobley leads students from Chicago College of Performing arts in a master class
Ganz Hall - Roosevelt University
