What is LYNX Project?

We are a Chicago-based nonprofit organization amplifying diverse voices through new art song commissions, inclusive concerts, and innovative educational opportunities. We pride ourselves on bringing communities together through the celebration of diverse stories and experiences in the genre we love—art song (poetry set to music, usually for solo voice and piano).

In addition to concerts that celebrate the beautiful canon of classical art song, we run two programs that connect specific communities to this work:

Through our Amplify Series, we premiere new song commissions featuring poetry from nonspeaking autistic poets, and music from renowned classical composers. Learn more.

Composition of a City is a songwriting program for teens, which leads students through the elements of writing, rehearsing, and performing original music, using elements from the genres of hip hop and classical art song. Learn more.
