In light of recent adjustments to COVID-19 recommendations from the CDC and the state of Illinois, Elmhurst Choral Union will not be requiring mask-wearing at Elmhurst Choral Union concerts or events. Following the new guidance, they will also not be checking the vaccination status of attendees. These are still uncertain times, so Elmhurst Choral Union reserves the right to make any adjustments should they need to be.
