The  Chicago Immigrant Orchestra was first established in 1999 by the  Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events, to be  presented as part of the first  annual Chicago World Music Festival. Directed by Willy Schwartz, the  orchestra involved Chicago musicians from the immigrant community  representing music from all over the globe. The project lasted through  2004 but had a lasting impact on the Chicago music  scene.
