Event Details
The Gold Coast Sounds Good Choir will bring down the house at its free spring choral concert on Thursday, May 15, at 2 pm, singing hits from iconic Broadway musicals like “Oklahoma,” “Porgy & Bess,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “West Side Story,” and “Hamilton," and more. Conductors Jonathan Miller and Linda Crabtree Powell lead choristers from all eight Sounds Good Choirs through a repertoire guaranteed to satisfy any Broadway aficionado. Selections include “Oklahoma’s” glorious and exuberant anthem, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin;’” the dreamy, ironic “Summertime,” from George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess;” and the comic sunshine of Hamilton’s, “You’ll Be Back.” Join us for a delightful afternoon at Fourth Presbyterian Church, Main Sanctuary (Michigan Avenue entrance), 126 E Chestnut St, Chicago, IL, 60611.
The performance is free, open to the public, and suitable for all ages. No reservations or tickets are needed. Complete concert details are available online.
Sounds Good Choir is a nonprofit organization with two incredible choral programs. Sounds Good is Chicagoland's largest no-audition choral program for adults 55+. It's fun, good for you (health and well-being benefits are associated with singing in a group), and we're a warm, welcoming community of people who love to sing. Good Memories is the only choir in Illinois for persons with early-stage dementia and their care partners to sing together. The lively, fun, and supportive program is designed especially for those with memory loss. Trained volunteers assist. Both programs are led by professional conductors who are experts in the training of the older adult voice and each session concludes with a free, public concert by each choir.
Choirs are forming for the "Summer Rocks" session featuring classic rock. To learn more, call 630.395.9542 or visit us online at soundsgoodchoir.org.
