Cellist Yo-Yo Ma visits Alternatives!
On December 12, 2011, Alternatives, Inc. was proud to partner with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra to welcome guests including world-renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and musicians from the Civic Orchestra and Chicago Sinfonietta to our Uptown Youth Center.
During the amazing evening, offered free to members of the community, youth and their families, the audience witnessed performances by Alternatives' own Connect Force Breakers as well as youth from our partner organization, CircEsteem.
