NaperVoice: Singing Our Superpowers

This program will explore themes of love, faith, wonder, imagination, and hope through vocal works from five centuries by composers including Purcell, Dowland, Massenet, Stroope, Carly Simon, and Dolly Parton. Missa Brevis: Songs of the Enslaved, by Founding Conductor/Artistic Director Philip Spencer, will also have its Naperville premiere. The 35-voice auditioned choir, composed of professional and volunteer singers from twenty Chicago-area communities, will be accompanied by Collaborative Percussionist Shelley May Hutchison, Collaborative Pianist Valerie Lorimer, and feature College Student Conducting Intern Jean Garcera.

All net proceeds beyond expenses will benefit the local charitable nonprofit Kids Above All, building better lives for kids through therapeutic programs, housing support, and education.
