Donor reception with a special treat

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Last night Jana French and Peter Gotsch hosted Chorale’s board and donors for a lovely evening of which Bruce’s solo performance was the highlight. He sang art songs by Chausson, Debussy, and Duparc, and attendees commented afterward on the thrill of hearing Bruce “really sing” and the treat of enjoying a centuries-old form of entertainment: chamber music in the living room. Garry Grasinski also provided videos of performances, interviews, and informal footage of Chicago Chorale on a continuous loop playing throughout the evening. If you haven’t seen all of Chorale’s videos yet, you should! Right here.

We plan to post here about once a week—usually something from the director (me), and occasionally something from a member of the group– about the repertoire we are singing, about the techniques we utilize to learn and present that repertoire, and about other issues of general interest which come up in the course of the group’s activities. We welcome your feedback! If you wish to comment on something you read here, or have a question about the group’s activities and projects, let us know, and we’ll respond as we are able.
