Choral works from the Romantic period and the Twentieth Century will round out this thrilling and inspirational performance.
This concert will be a special performance for chorale and Iowa Army National Guard member, Lynn Zamora. This will be Lynn’s first appearance with the Chorale since her return from Iraq. Lynn took a leave of absence from the Chorale, to serve our country, in March of 2003 and safely returned home in June 2004. This will also be the first concert that Lynn will perform in following the death of her father, Charles “Chic” Wittenberg. Chic Wittenberg was a charter member of the Chorale and also served on the Chorale’s Finance committee until his death in September 2004.
A recent audience found the Chorale’s Sping 2004 concert to be “inspirational, beautiful, and balanced” Audience members found an evening with us “enjoyable, peaceful, and fun”, and referred to the Chorale as “excellent, talented, and disciplined singers!”
The Oak Park Concert Chorale invites you to an enchanting evening of magnificent choral music.
