New Classic Singers 2010-2011

Lee R. Kesselman, Director — Glen Ellyn
Bill Buhr, Accompanist — Villa Park

The choir is re-auditioned every year, and draws high-caliber singers from all around the South-Western suburbs.

This year's ensemble includes 41 singers, of whom 8 are new to the group. Membership stretches from Volo to Plainfield, and from Chicago to Sugar Grove. The evenly matched chorus includes more than a dozen conductors and music educators, and a vast array of vocal, teaching and choral experience.
