This Giving Tuesday, Help Us Rewrite the Narrative.

Transforming Orchestral Norms,

One Note at a Time


Classical Queens: Our Time is more than a production. It's a movement. We blend orchestral music, rap-poetry, and dance to explore the legacies of two Black women composers during Chicago’s Black Renaissance.

Your support this Giving Tuesday ensures this powerful story reaches audiences, schools, and communities that need it most.

Every Donation Makes an Impact

  • $25: Funds a student’s ticket to an educational performance.

  • $50: Supports classroom programming to teach about BIPOC lives with honor and dignity.

  • $100: Helps us tour the production to underserved communities.

  • $500: Sponsors a local artist's involvement in Our Time.
