About Us
What is The Listening Club?
The Listening Club is a registered 501(c)(7) not-for-profit corporation. We are a private social club in the State of Illinois.
Our mission is to:
• foster social connections between members of Chicago’s diverse contemporary music community
• strengthen the bonds of fellowship between club members
• provide a private forum for the discussion, analysis, and performance of new works of music
• promote the principles of artistic expression, experimentation, and collaboration
Our club is run completely by volunteers. Members are expected to play an active role in making the club a success, facilitating events that support our mission, and taking care of the space.

How do I become a member?
Support the club & our mission by signing up as a member for $20 a month. Attend our events or just come and hang out whenever the club is open!
A group of “keyed members” are authorized to open the club. Whenever a keyed member is opening the club, they alert the membership. All planned events will be posted on our private online calendar and impromptu events will be posted on our Discord server.
If you are interested in becoming a member, then send an email to listenchicago@gmail.com to request an application. If your membership application is approved, you will be invited to attend one of our prospective member nights.
