WELCOME
Welcome to the Chicago Chamber Choir’s virtual community sing! CCC’s
mission is to engage our community in high quality choral art. The pandemic
has allowed us to redefine our community. Today, we welcome
singers from all over the world to sing with us; and we welcome audience
members from all over the world into our music making. I am so grateful
that you all have chosen to join us in lifting our voices together in this
power piece as we celebrate the frontline healthcare workers who have kept
us safe over the last year, and commemorate those we have lost – friends,
coworkers, family – to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is my hope that this
music will bring us all closer together and provide a hopeful and healing
moment for our entire CCC community.

over 25 orchestral masses. The three choirs keep an active repertoire of over 65 choral masses and hundreds of motets.
He started the parish’s voluntary choir (St. Cecilia) which has now grown to nearly 30 members and sings Evensong

Schola Immaculata in Chicago. He began organ studies in high school and continued his education at Wheaton College
(B.M.) and the University of Minnesota (M.M. Organ performance). Prior to his appointment at Atonement, he was
Minister of Music at St. David’s Episcopal Church, Glenview, IL, and Organ Scholar at Southwell Minster, England.
While in England, he was also Assistant Conductor and Organist for the Cranmer Company of Singers where he did
