The Chicago Metamorphosis Orchestra Project (ChiMOP) is dedicated to affecting positive social change in young students with limited access to the arts by providing a safe and fun environment for them to make music in pursuit of artistic excellence together with peers and role models.

Goals:

• Students become empowered by creativity and demonstrate behaviors of confidence and self esteem
• Students continuously experience musical excellence and understand the importance of a disciplined work ethic
• Students improve school attendance and academic achievement
• Students translate musical skills into lifelong behavior patterns that benefit themselves, their families, and their entire community
