We also have an active Outreach Program for senior citizens and children's groups and sing pops concerts for special occasions and benefits for community organizations. During the 1996-1997 season, we inaugurated our DGCS Chamber Choir and a professional recital series . On occasion, we join area choruses or symphonies for performances of major works, and have recently performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 with the DuPage Symphony, Handel's Israel in Egypt with the Naperville Chorus, and the Verdi Requiem with the Park Ridge Civic Orchestra. Prospective members are given a brief audition consisting of a short selection of the singer's choice and a talk with our Music Director about his or her musical background. Auditions are held prior to the first rehearsal and at other times, as necessary.
Scores are available for purchase at rehearsals.
Members are expected to participate in nonsinging activities that are necessary to sustain the Society. Examples include selling tickets, setting up for concerts, helping with fundraising activities, and preparing bulk mailings. Grove Choral Society Home Page Last modified June 9, 2000.
