Proximity resources
Proximity is a trio of new American operas that confronts head-on some of the greatest challenges affecting us as a society: yearning for connection in a world driven by technology; the devastating impact of gun violence on cities and neighborhoods; and the need to respect and protect our natural resources.
If you’re interested in learning more about these issues and connecting with organizations in Chicago and nationally that are doing good work in these areas, we invite you to explore the resources below. We are all better together.
