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.
– 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. Civitas presents engaging live performances of new and traditional works. The Ensemble members teach and inspire the next generation of classical musicians, and bring live performances to those with limited access.
Community & Citizenship
We are not your run-of-the-mill Chamber Group. The name Civitas, which means Community and Citizenship, is derived from Latin — it is the embodiment of what our Ensemble represents and 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
