We've identified a Director and several teachers for refreshers in violin, viola, and horns. We're hoping to welcome woodwind support too!!

If you are interested in volunteering to teach refresher courses in strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion, jazz theory, or other instruments or styles, please fill out the survey.

Individuals interested in the Jazz band (including vocalists) or Bagpipes - the survey is for you too!

Are you into something that you haven't seen here? Fill out the survey and let us know!!

First steps are that survey in to evaluate where our starting point is.

Good morning neighbors! Here is the latest update on the music program.

If you are interested in playing in a group, please take the survey in the link below.

The survey will run through September 15th. Once we've compiled the data, we can start scheduling refresher courses, identifying group structures, rehearsal scheduling, etc.

Leadership meetings will be starting in the next two weeks. We will be reaching out to those that have indicated interest in teaching & support by this Friday, August 28th. If you don't receive a direct message from us please let us know. We'd love to talk to you!

About Harmony United LGBTQ+ Community Chorus

Raise Your Voice. Build Community. Create Harmony.

Harmony United LGBTQ+ Community Chorus is a welcoming, inclusive, and accessible community where people can experience the joy of making music together. We bring LGBTQ+ individuals and allies of all backgrounds together through the shared love of singing, creating friendships, building confidence, and strengthening connections within our community.

We believe music has the power to bring people together, celebrate differences, and create a sense of belonging. Harmony United welcomes people of all ages, identities, abilities, cultures, and musical experiences, providing an environment where everyone can feel valued, respected, and included.

Everyone Has a Place in the chorus

Harmony United is intentionally designed to remove barriers that can prevent people from participating in community music:

• No musical experience necessary
• No auditions or try-outs
• No participation fees
• Everyone who registers has an opportunity to participate
• LGBTQ+ individuals and allies are welcome
• A commitment to accessibility, inclusion, and belonging
• No residency requirements — membership is open regardless of where you live.

Whether someone has sung in choirs for years or is picking up a songbook for the very first time, there is a place for them at Harmony United.

Our focus is fun first. Through rehearsals and performances, members have the opportunity to learn new music, develop their musical skills, make new friends, and become part of a supportive community where every voice contributes to something greater.

Hey there neighbors! We've been going to the Last Fling since 1970 (Hey hey, easy on the old folks jokes. We can still rock the Zipper)

Since then it has evolved, moved, changed, and adapted to the ever growing Naperville community.

This opportunity to enjoy an event like this with loved ones who thrive in a quieter environment is fantastic!

Come on out with your family and friends and enjoy this long standing event.

Sunday morning at the carnival belongs to a quieter crowd.
Special Needs Day runs 10 AM to noon on Sunday, September 6 — two hours on the midway before the music starts and the crowds build. Same rides, same lights, a lot less noise.
If a full festival day is more than your family can take on, this is the window built for you.
