Description
How long does it take to prepare a masterpiece? One afternoon—if you do it right. Elmhurst Choral Union invites music fans to join them for Microwave Masterpieces on Sunday, August 25 at Immanuel Lutheran Church of Elmhurst, 142 E. Third Street. If you're a singer with a sense of adventure, join Elmhurst Choral Union at 1:00 to learn sacred choruses by Beethoven, Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, and Brahms in a single afternoon rehearsal, then perform them. If you're not a singer, come for the 4:00 performance and meet the singers afterwards. Can conductor Scott Uddenberg beat the clock to prepare the work in less than 3 hours? Audience admission is $5, and singer participation is $20 plus music scores (available for purchase at the door). Tickets or registration are through elmhurstchoralunion.org, 800-838-3006, or at the door. Elmhurst Choral Union is an outstanding volunteer chorus, performing classical masterworks and great choral music of all eras.
Why You Should Attend
If you're a singer, attend because it's a great moment to sing something different--and it's the wildest singing event you'll do this summer.
If you're not a singer, you want to see and hear the results.
