Mission Statement
Chicago Chorale, a 60-voice ensemble of volunteer singers, takes as its guiding principle the concept of the amateur in the truest sense of the word: those who cultivate a craft out of genuine love and dedication. Chorale performs repertoire from the sixteenth century to the present day, from well-loved choral works to overlooked masterpieces—but always music that will stimulate its singers and audiences, and always with a commitment to musical excellence.
