Why We Do This
Our name, Civitas, means Community and Citizenship — this is the embodiment of what our Ensemble holds close to heart. We are passionate about our three-fold mission:
Creative Excellence
Present engaging live performances of new and traditional works
Healing & Teaching
Bring the healing power of music to those with limited access to live performances
Promote Cultural Diversity
Inspire young classical musicians to serve their communities through music
– Lawrence A. Johnson’s Critics Choice
from Chicago Classical Review
Performing at “an exceptionally high caliber” (Chicago Classical Reviews), Civitas Ensemble started in 2011 with four friends who shared the same visions and values of using their music to serve and impact the Chicago community through the transformative power of their art.
RECORDING
A recording presenting a spectrum of new instrumental works by living Chinese composers, each with a unique perspective on Western and Far Eastern musical sensibilities.
