OT: Chicago Area DISers - Mount Union College Choir Concerts on Jan 7th & 8th

[Towncrier]

The Mount Union College Choir will be performing a free concert at Grace Church in Naperville at 7:30PM on Thursday January 7th and at First United Methodist Church in Crystal Lake at 7:30PM on Friday January 8th. I attended their concert in Canton (Ohio) and the music was outstanding. Not only the music, but Dr. Scott Dorsey puts on quite a show as he directs his students as they sing arrangements ranging from traditional Latin to contemporary.

This is one holiday concert that you do not want to miss. Weather permitting we will be attending both concerts in Illinois this week.

The Mount Union Choir traces its roots to 1896. One of five choral organizations at Mount Union College, the Mount Union Choir is the College’s premiere choral ensemble. The Choir has enjoyed an international reputation, performing and earning critical acclaim in China, India, Malaysia, Norway, and Turkey, among many other nations throughout Europe and the Far East. They have been honored with a number of prestigious invitations, including concerts at the White House, for the American Choral Directors Association, and performances before three separate global gatherings of the United Methodist Church.

Did I mention that my daughter Sarah is a member of the Mount Union College Choir?

Bumping this back to the top for one last look. I added information about the concert in Crystal Lake on Friday the 8th. Sue and I are looking forward to our quick trip to the Windy City. If you are nearby, drop in and give the choir a listen.

I did not make it, John, but can only imagine it was beautiful. Thanks again fore the heads up.

The weather that weekend was a bit dicey. I'll make sure to let the boards know the next time the choir is touring in Illinois.
