Welcome to Chicago Master Singers University (CMS University)!
CMS University premiered in August 2020 as a series of livestreamed seminars offered by Chicago Master Singers and hosted by our Music Director, Dr. John Hughes. Topics are of interest to veteran CMS patrons and musicians, as well as those who are just discovering the chorus. And there is no cost to register and attend these sessions!
The Spring 2021 livestream events will be held on Monday evenings at 7:00 pm Central time, starting on January 11. You can sign up for any or all of these sessions. After you register, you will receive an email with information on how to join the live event a few days prior to the dates of the event(s) for which you've registered. We hope you'll join us!
If you would like to view the recordings of the Fall 2020 seminars, they are available on the CMS YouTube channel. Enjoy!
As mentioned, these events are free, but you can support our work with a one-time donation or a monthly contribution via Patreon. Thank you!
