ECC Starts Christmas Music This Week

The Christmas season is always a favorite with the Evanston Civic Chorus, and we're excited to jump into new music this week on Wednesday, Nov. 16th.  This is a great time to join us!

We've got a couple of holiday events scheduled so far:

• December 1st - We're planning to be in the Parade of Lights as Christmas carolers.  In the past we've strolled around downtown singing in different businesses.  This year we're planning to sing our carols on a float in the parade.  
• December 18th - We're hosting the 3rd biennial Evanston Community Christmas Gala concert.

Evanston Community Christmas Gala

Sunday, December 18th, 2011

7:00 p.m.

Davis Middle School

Free Admission

2009 - Combined Choir and Orchestra

The Civic Chorus and Chamber Choir will each prepare a song for the Gala. In addition, the Chorus will form the nucleus of a combined choir which will sing "O Holy Night," accompanied by the Evanston Civic Orchestra.  We formed a combined choir for the 2009 Gala and it was a great success.  We already have several local church choral groups signed up to be in the Gala and in the combined choir.

All singers in the Evanston area are invited to be in the combined choir.  If you don't belong to a participating choral group, come sing with the Civic Chorus!  Even if you are in a different choral group, come sing with us.  I'm involved in three different choirs this year, plus the orchestra.  It's great fun!

I hope to see many of you on Wednesday at 7:00 in the EHS choir room!
