Cor Cantiamo is excited to collaborate with the Grammy nominated music educator Trevor Nicholas and his choral program at Senn High School, one of the Chicago Public School Arts Magnet Schools. The program will feature individual performances by each participating choir, and all the choirs will combine on several compositions including the world premiere of Where Is My Song, composed by Trevor Nicholas based on texts generated by his students.
Through the enthusiastic support of the Ravinia Reach/Teach/Play the concert will be presented at Gordon Bennett Hall at Ravinia. This exceptional concert venue is a beautiful state of the art concert space on the historic Ravinia campus. Cor is thrilled to be returning to Ravinia after our successful performance in August 2022!
