      Host Dennis Moore

      The Civic Orchestra, the only training orchestra affiliated with a major American symphony, has been presenting free concerts to Chicago audiences since its founding in 1919 by then-Chicago Symphony music director Frederick Stock. A signature initiative of the CSO's Institute for Learning, Access and Training, the Civic recruits a diverse group of the very best pre-professional musicians and trains them at the highest level as orchestra players committed to their craft and to the community.

      Dennis Moore hosts a new 13-week series of Civic broadcasts.
