Fall: Gracious Light

​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 Bassoonist Ben Roidl-Ward & Music Director John C. Hughes.

​​This performance will last approximately one hour and twenty minutes.

NextGen: Michael John Trotta
​Friday, February 27 at 7:30pm

​Perhaps our most inspirational concert of the season. Come hear nearly 200 singers, ranging from pre-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.

​Pre-concert conversation at 6:45pm featuring Michael John Trotta and Music Director John C. Hughes.​​

Season Finale: From Darkness to Light
Saturday, May 2 at 7:30pm  |  ​Sunday, May 3 at 3:00pm

Sublime beauty awaits you at these concerts. Luxuriate in the cathartic sound of Morten Lauridsen’s beloved Lux Aeterna. This is simply an amazing piece; it's expressive, rich, and profound. Also on the program are Gabriel Fauré’s ever-popular Cantique de Jean Racine and Welsh composer Paul Mealor’s richly sonorous Stabat Mater. The chorus is joined by the Metropolis Symphony Orchestra and Soprano Angela De Venuto.
