What variety! This eclectic program flows seamlessly from piece to piece and there’s something for everyone. Loosely structured like a Mass setting, the repertoire includes choral classics by Felix Mendelssohn, John Rutter, and Randall Thompson; Scandinavian pieces by Knut Nystedt, Ola Gjeilo, and Egil Hovland’s concerto for bassoon and choir; Russian church music featuring the Bass section’s earth-rumbling low Cs; pieces by modern choral rockstars Jocelyn Hagen and Michael John Trotta; and concludes with a stirring arrangement of Precious Lord, Take My Hand. Click here for the complete song list. Pre-concert conversation at 6:45pm Saturday / 2:15pm Sunday, featuring Bassonist Ben Roidl-Ward & Music Director John C. Hughes.
This performance will last approximately one hour and twenty minutes. |

Perhaps our most inspirational concert of the season. Come hear 200 singers, ranging from teens to octogenarians, raise their voices together in a remarkable testament to the power of music and community. Composer Michael John Trotta will join us for a concert of his music, including his new Requiem setting, which was recently recorded by Tenebrae, one of the UK’s finest choirs. You’re sure to love Michael’s lush, melodious music that comforts and elevates audiences around the world. CMS collaborates with singers from Vernon Hills High School (Jeremy Little, Director) and Campanella Children's Choir (Marianna Kosaya, Director). Click here for the complete song list.

The chorus is joined by the Metropolis Symphony Orchestra and Soprano Angela De Venuto. Pre-concert conversation at 6:45pm Saturday / 2:15pm Sunday, featuring Angela De Venuto and Music Director John C. Hughes.
