Other recent community appearances have included the Symphony of Oak Park and River Forest's 1998 Holiday Concert, the Ernest Hemingway Centennial in 1999, and the 1999 Infant Welfare Society Holiday Housewalk. Six choir members were featured in the Fall 1998 Light Opera Works production of The Duchess of Chicago. Touring has taken the Choirs to various schools and churches in Illinois and Texas and to Episcopal Cathedrals in Des Moines and Dallas. Future tours are planned to Iowa, Wisconsin and New York City. Grace Children's Choirs is committed to bringing music education to a diverse community of children.
Tuition is free, and financial aid for tour fees is available.
New choristers are invited to join us at any time. This program uses the methods of Orff, Kodaly and Jacques-Dalcroze to teach music literacy. Cherubs sing at worship services several times per year. The Schola Choir is open to parishioners and community children between the ages of 8 and 14. Group Auditions for the Schola and Scholars are held at the beginning of each season, in mid-September.
