It should be a good romp through some interesting and oft difficult French choral music. I hope that you will be able to come. The Sunday evening concert is sponsored by the host congregation, so the ticket price is a requested free-will offering.

Presbyterian church...free-will offering? Interesting.

If Monet’s paintings were to turn into notes on paper instead of color on canvas, how would they sound? What would we hear if that rich and luxurious blending of colors and hues could be turned into music? Chicago Choral Artists think they have the answer, and invite you to decide for yourself as they present a concert of French Beauties: Choral Masterpieces from the Renaissance to Post-Impressionism. Marvel at the pristine clarity of Renaissance composers Bouzignac and LeJeune; then melt into the lush 20th century post-impressionistic sounds of Durufle, Langlais, Ravel and Poulenc.

Under the direction of Brian Bloye, Andrew Fredel and J. David Štech Chicago Choral Artists, acclaimed by critic Lawrence Johnson for its "refined, scrupulously blended singing," will present two performances:

Saturday evening, May 20, 7:30 pm at St Alphonsus Church in Chicago;

Sunday evening, May 21, 7:00 pm at the First Presbyterian Church in Lake Forest.
