From darkness to radiance, Anima Young Singers of Greater Chicago (formerly the Glen Ellyn Children's Chorus) presents a musical journey of reflection and inspiration. At 4 pm, the younger ensembles and outreach choirs are spotlighted singing a fine array of whimsical, global, and holiday music at a family friendly price! From classics (Bach, Schubert) to living composers from Chicago to Canada, there will be plenty of variety for all ages including a carol sing at both concerts. At 7 pm, very special guest artist eighth blackbird, the Grammy award winning sextet, will join the advanced ensemble presenting Nico Muhly’s How Soon?. Eric Whitacre’s 5 Hebrew Love Songs will be a gorgeous centerpiece at both concerts. Let the radiance of young voices bring a glow to your heart in the warm, intimate acoustics of Wentz Hall.
The young singers will perform under the musical direction of Artistic Director Emily Ellsworth of Wheaton, conductor Ron Korbitz of Woodridge and conductor Megan Drahos of Elmhurst.
