LYNX Project: beautiful small things
@ Poetry Foundation
61 W Superior St, Chicago, IL 60654
Opening Saturday, May 21st, from 2PM - 3PM
On view through Wednesday, December 31st
Join us for a live performance of songs from LYNX Project’s debut album, beautiful small things. These art songs, commissioned between 2017–2020 as part of the Amplify series, feature the poetry of neurodiverse young people who are primarily nonspeaking, set to music by celebrated classical composers. In addition to song performances, there will be a presentation on nonspeaking communication and readings of poems.
The Poetry Foundation and LYNX share a commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive performance space. Sensory accommodations will be provided. A social narrative for the event is available to download here (PDF).
