Uniting Voices Chicago Presents Paint the Town Red

Join Uniting Voices Chicago (formerly Chicago Children’s Choir) youth ensembles from neighborhoods across Chicago at Paint the Town Red, a free or “donate what you can” concert featuring an inspiring mix of original, classic, and contemporary songs from around the globe. The breadth of musical styles, genres and languages being performed reflect the global curriculum of Uniting Voices’ programs ranging from the Civil Rights song “Ain’t Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me ‘Round” to the Greek/Turkish tsifteteli dance to “Om Shanti” which combines many different cultural styles to a selection from the cantata Carmina Burana. And everyone will be on their feet for “The Best,” an energetic mashup of hits from Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, U2, Beyonce and more. Come kick off the summer concert season at this spectacular matinee!

The contemporary “A Coco Celebration!” showcases an exciting mashup of songs from the hit musical film and “As One” was composed by Austin Neighborhood Choir singers alongside their conductor Farlanda Buchannon–and offers a youth perspective on their neighborhood and vision for the future.

Free and open to the public, the event is “donate what you can” and part of Uniting Voices’ Giving Day, with all donations made now through May 25th being matched by local donors. No reservation required. For more information visit: www.unitingvoiceschicago.org
