‘Summer Dreamin’ show brings international barbershop champion to Naperville
Fans of high-energy a cappella vocal music will be treated to some of the most talented groups in the Midwest on Saturday, Aug. 23, as the Chorus of DuPage hosts “Summer Dreamin,” a show designed to celebrate summertime, classic tunes and groups such as the Beach Boys, Everly Brothers and Bill Haley and the Comets.
Several award-winning vocal groups will perform with the popular 40-voice Chorus of DuPage, including Instant Classic — former Barbershop Harmony Society international quartet champion. Also appearing on the show will be Stiletto, the 2023 Regional Sweet Adelines Quartet Champion, as well as two popular Chicago area quartets, the Upside Downers and Factory Tuned.
“We hope to delight area music lovers with a program that features a diverse mix of top talent, and a musical program theme that celebrates summer with tunes we all know and love,” said John Morrison, COD chorus manager. The Naperville-based chorus, with members from throughout the Chicago area, will perform hits such as 409, In My Room, All I Have to do is Dream, Rock Around the Clock and other nostalgic favorites.
The show will be at 3 p.m. at Grace United Methodist Church, 300 E. Gartner Road in Naperville. There is ample free parking at the church.
