As a community, it is in our power to shape the future of our town, making it the premier destination for the arts in western suburbs.

Help us build and operate a new performing arts center in the heart of Elmhurst City Centre.

Daring plans require ambitious goals! Help us reach our goal by making an important contribution helping us deliver the studies needed to complete the early planning stages of our initiative, identify and survey parcels of land available for development, and build key relationships with major donors, city representatives, and the community. Your donations will also allow us to bring to our fundraising events the very best talent Elmhurst has to offer!

Here are three ways you can help.

Encore Center for Performing Arts is grateful to be featured in Elmhurst Magazine in the powerful article “A Song Can Save a Life,” written by Laura Michaud and Melissa G. Wilson.

The article explores the deeply personal and healing work of Freedom Sings USA, a nonprofit organization that connects veterans with professional songwriters to help transform their experiences into music.

Through storytelling and song, Freedom Sings USA creates opportunities for veterans to share experiences that are often difficult to express through words alone. The article highlights how music can foster connection, reflection, healing, and hope for veterans, their families, and the broader community.

As shared in the article:

“Music is good medicine.”

Encore Center for Performing Arts is proud to help bring this meaningful program to Elmhurst and honored to support an experience that uplifts the voices and stories of those who have served.

We sincerely thank Elmhurst Magazine along with authors Laura Michaud and Melissa G. Wilson for helping share the mission and impact of Freedom Sings USA with the community. View the full issue of Elmhurst Magazine.
