Alyo Outreach Programs
Alyo Outreach Programs offer our instructional and performance
packages which feature artists from the Adult Ensemble and/or
the ALYO Youth Touring Co. Both groups are available for art
education workshop classes and other events. Past Outreach
programs have included the Grand opening of the Millennium Park,
the Field Museum, the National Safety Council, Small School
of the Arts at South Shore High School, Accounters Community
Center, African American Film Festival. Our MAYO Elementary
School residency is in it's seventh year and has produced a
school dance group, Ngoma Umoja: Dance & Drum Unity. This
student group performed at Chicago's Symphony Center and at
Paul Revere School.
While some times are busier than others we prefer to have
six to eight weeks notice generally for processing Booking
requests. So you are interested in booking our performers
for your event please forward your date(s), contact information
