Our season concludes with NOVA VIII: chicago seasons, an open-air concert series celebrating the vibrant seasons of Chicago. This free public event, presented in collaboration with the Chicago Park District, will feature world premieres inspired by the city’s ever-changing landscape—summers at the lake, city street fairs, and the pulse of Chicago’s dynamic community.
In addition, Constellation continues their Community Uplift Partnership alongside NOVA to raise funds and make an impactful donation to a local non-profit organization that is essential to a facet of Chicago life. This year, CME is proud to partner with Care For Friends, providing critical resources of food, housing, and healthcare to Chicagoans in need.
