Our 30th season started when we took part in the Fulcrum Point New Music Ensemble concert 9/11: 10 Years & Beyond on September 11th, 2011, which was also broadcast live on 98.7 WFMT. In November we performed our Psalms & Spirituals program twice in local churches. In December we took you around the world in our well-loved holiday concert World Carol. In the spring we returned to Jewish cultural traditions with a concert entitled Kadosh which included the premier of a new work by Lee Kesselman. Finally the last of our regular season concerts was the New Classics Radio Hour on May 5th, 2012.

We sing for you, and as with most performing arts organizations it costs more to put on concerts than we can bring in from just ticket sales. If you have enjoyed attending our concerts, please consider making a donation so we can sing for you again in the future. We also sell advertising space in our printed concert program booklets, please contact us for details if you're interested.
