Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale Rehearsing for Wintersong 2016 Concerts

The Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale is excited about singing the popular "Gloria" written by prolific composer John Rutter. This brilliant work will form the centerpiece of this year's Wintersong Christmas concert. Do you like brass? You won't want to miss this concert! Rutter's "Gloria" is a virtual display piece for choir, brass, and organ. After this quarter hour of listening, if you aren't ready for Christmas, we'll refund your money!

But that's not all! Our concert will also feature quieter moments, such as the stunning Emily Crocker setting of "Do You Hear What I Hear?", and another Rutter composition, this one a hauntingly beautiful setting of the lullaby "Dormi Jesu" (Sleep, Jesus). And we've reserved something big and festive to end our concert-and it just might include a singalong!

We think that our two Wintersong concerts are a great way for you and your family to enter the Christmas season! Why not put these dates on your calendar right now? They'll be here before you know it!

Friday, December 2 at 7:30 pm

Saturday, December 3 at 3:00 pm

Both concerts will be held at College Church, 335 E. Seminary in Wheaton, a beautiful space for singing, both acoustically and visually. You can find ticket information on the main page of the chorale's website: www.gewchorale.org, or call 630-415-3066.
