Summer Lethargy?

Not for us. July 23rd we performed a concert version of Candide by Leonard Bernstein at the Ravinia Festival with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under Maestro John Axelrod. Commenting afterward, he described us to Ravinia management: "They are fantastic, world class, and I would hope we have a chance to collaborate further." We do too! Special thanks go to all of our friends who came to the concert despite the threatening weather.

 

August finds us busy choosing and preparing repertoire for the upcoming season. Fall and Holiday performances are listed below. We have also been auditioning new singers to add to the group and we are beginning preparations for our fun Benefit in October.
