BIG NIGHT
Chicago’s most inspiring night of the year!
Thank you to all who made
Big Night 2023 #ChicagoInHarmony a resounding success!
The People’s Music School would be honored to have your support for our spectacular Big Night on March 10, 2023.
Each year, this very special event unites and inspires so many who care about the power of music to change lives. Big Night highlights past achievements and celebrates our future. This year, your support will be even more meaningful as we unite Chicago In Harmony and open an exciting new chapter.
Over the years, Big Night has grown into not just a showcase of impact but an immensely fun evening filled with food, drink, joy, and music. Last year’s event clocked in over 350 attendees and raised over $500,000. In 2023, we will be ready for even more to celebrate, and we want you there. Meanwhile, in our teaching sites across the city, the fall of 2022 marked our first, in-person opening day in three years. We are teaching over 725 Chicago students at no cost to families, delivering field-leading excellence and innovation in music pedagogy and performance – all thanks to your invaluable support.
Please consider this an opportunity to invest in an organization that values the power of music and your partnership, putting your dollars to work directly impacting students across Chicago’s communities. We proudly spotlight our sponsors across social media, in the press leading up to the event, and in front of the 400- plus civic and corporate leaders who will attend the event.
Support Big Night! Our theme, #ChicagoInHarmony, celebrates what can be achieved working and creating together. Will you join in? All students deserve access to the benefits of rigorous, transformational music education. Join the harmony!
In service and gratitude,
Miriam Goldberg Owens
President & CEO, The People’s Music School
