It is an exciting time in Illinois as we witness significant growth and increased funding for arts organizations throughout the state. We at the Illinois Council of Orchestras (ICO) are proud to see our orchestras thriving in this post-pandemic world, supported by new initiatives from the Illinois Arts Alliance and the Illinois Arts Council. Over the past year, our efforts have flourished with the launch of our new website and CRM system, and the planning of future events for communities across the state.
