MISSION & COMMUNITY

Ambitious music. Open doors.

Bringing ambitious music and accessible live performance together.

OUR THREE PRINCIPLES

The standard we set for every program.

01

Artistic integrity

Every program should have a clear artistic vision and meet a high standard of musical quality.

02

Community access

Live music should be available to people regardless of their ability to pay.

03

Social responsibility

Musical talent and organizational resources should contribute positively to the community.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Bringing two needs together.

Chicago has a large and diverse arts community, but the cost of attending live performances can prevent some individuals and families from participating.

At the same time, many talented amateur and semi-professional musicians seek opportunities to perform challenging and meaningful music without necessarily pursuing traditional commercial performance careers.

FOR MUSICIANS

Challenging and meaningful musical opportunities

FOR AUDIENCES

Access to live music and community experiences.

SOUNDBRIDGE'S ANSWER

One community. Two opportunities.

SoundBridge brings these two needs together: ambitious musical work for performers and free access to live music for audiences.
