Thanks to our friends at Arts DuPage for sharing this insightful article! Come see for yourself the joyful impact of choral singing at our concert celebrating America 250 this Sunday. See link in the comments.

This April, we are celebrating Vocal Music and want to share this article from Chorus Connection with you as it demonstrates one of the many ways it touches our lives:

"As we navigate the complexities of modern society, choirs emerge as essential players, weaving together threads of community, diversity, and personal growth. In cultures where social harmony is ingrained, and amidst the surge of loneliness and isolation exacerbated by the pandemic, choirs stand as vital agents of change."
