Let\u2019s continue our work together as musicians and stand united in helping one another.\u00a0Recognizing a kaleidoscopic range of underrepresented music and musicians, OPUS has instituted an \u201cUnderrepresented Composers\u201d project since 2020.\u00a0<span class=\"il\">The<\/span>\u00a0Chamber Music Camp will continue to prioritize\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span>\u00a0chamber repertoire of underrepresented composers, further researching and developing a personal, immersive, and passionate bond with some infrequently-performed repertoires. We encourage underrepresented students to participate to foster diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging in\u00a0<span class=\"il\">the<\/span> performing arts. As Chicago area demographics have trended towards an older population, OPUS also prioritizes presentation of its high-quality chamber music to seniors, veterans, and other under-served community groups.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">OPUS (Orchestra Parents\/Patrons\u2019 United Support) Association is an IRS 501(c)3 charitable, not-for-profit volunteer organization with a mission to stimulate and sustain students\u2019 interest in chamber and orchestral music.
