Calendar of Events
We are excited to welcome our students and families to the One City 2025-2026 academic year. Check out the calendars below for each specific program.
Changing lives one note at a time.
One City, a community initiative of VanderCook College of Music, provides free, high-quality music education and instruments to elementary and middle school students across the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago. Your donations support our lifelong commitment to enriching lives through music education.
Thank you to our generous donors, including recent grants from the Illinois Arts Council, the Les Paul Foundation, the Wurlitzer Foundation, and to everyone who supports One City.
