Fidelity FutureStage | Cities

Welcome to Chicago.

The Fidelity FutureStage program started in Chicago in 2007. Working together with the Chicago Symphony and Merit School of Music, the program offers symphony experiences and coaching to Chicago-area public schools.

Kickoff of the 2010 National Music Program

Students from 16 different schools in 4 cities across the country witnessed the launch of the 2010 Music Program. Four schools from Chicago were selected to participate in the program, including: Jones College Prep, Kenwood Academy High School, Lincoln Park High School, and Pritzker College Prep.

The event was hosted by Actor Dominic Monaghan and featured Actor Jamie Foxx and Actress Joan Cusack in Chicago. Fidelity Investments surprised the 16 schools with a donation of $500,000 worth of new instruments.
