Bach to Rock, Naperville, IL

Corporation ; Educational ; Kids/Family ; Media ; Music ; Performing Arts

Bach To Rock is the Music School for students of all ages. B2R’s unique method is based on the knowledge that students learn best when they join together to play the music they like the most. That’s why we use special arrangements of the music of our time and combine individual lessons with band instruction. Weekly “jam sessions” lead to Battles of the Bands and recording sessions in B2R Studios, our own professional recording facilities. B2R also holds regularly scheduled public concerts that encourage students to become seasoned performers. These creative group activities foster teamwork, build self-esteem and motivate students to perfect their musicianship through independent practice.

Since its inception, NAL has provided an atmosphere of encouragement, education, and support for local emerging and established artists and for art appreciators.

Open to the public, the Gallery features monthly displays of members' original artwork as well as occasional special exhibits. NAL holds firmly to its motto "inspiring passion in the arts" in its annual offering of over 50 hands-on art classes for both children and adults held at its Fine Art Center. Classes cover a variety of media and experience levels and are available throughout the day and evening. Our instructors come from diverse artistic backgrounds and provide the tools and motivation needed to make even the novice comfortable. NAL hosts monthly themed art shows featuring original artwork created by members and all pieces are for sale. Each art show attempts to represent current local events, stylistic artistic elements, and the traditions of fine art representation while giving local artists a forum to exhibit their work to the community. Every third weekend in September, NAL proudly hosts The Riverwalk Fine Art Fair, an outdoor juried art exhibition and sale, which began in 1985. Held along the renowned Naperville Riverwalk and downtown city streets, the show is ranked as one of the top fine art fairs in the United States and features artists from all over the country. In addition to hosting this nationally acclaimed fair, NAL strives to make an artistic mark on the community. Each spring NAL coordinates a public art competition and exhibit, and periodically partners with other local organizations to offer visual art to the public in various ways. NAL's Fine Art Center and Gallery invites both artists and the community to understand, practice, and appreciate art. The Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 10am until 5:00 P.M. and Saturday from 10:00 A.M. until 4:00 P.M.

Young Naperville Singers

Kids/Family ; Media ; Music ; Not-for-Profit ; Performing Arts

As Young Naperville Singers celebrates 38 years of soaring in song, the choir continues its dedication to promoting the highest level of artistic excellence in choral music through extraordinary educational and performance experiences that enrich the lives of young people. Founded in 1984 by the late Helen Grubbs, Young Naperville Singers has grown to become a premier community-based children's choral music education program in Chicago's western suburbs and the Fox River Valley. YNS continues to grow and thrive under the leadership of Artistic Director Angie Johnson, and is proud to be a musical home for over 400 singers. Young Naperville Singers consists of eleven ability-based choirs with members ranging in age from six to eighteen. Several years ago YNS launched a Boys Choir for boys with unchanged voices, which was followed by Canto Vivo, an ensemble for boys with changed or changing voices. This year, YNS is beginning a partnership with Music Together, an early childhood music education for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. It is the belief of the staff, parents and Board of Directors of YNS that through singing the heart is touched, the mind is stimulated and the spirit is set free. That vision has enabled the choristers to experience a wide variety of musical opportunities: participating in numerous festivals; performing for the American Choral Director's Association Convention; performing with members of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; performance tours, both domestic and overseas; collaborations with professional musical guest artists and premiering commissioned works by renowned composers such as Rollo Dilworth, Andrea Ramsey and Bob Chilcott, to name but a few. Membership in Young Naperville Singers is by audition, without regard to race, creed, color, sex, religion, national origin, ancestry, political affiliation, sexual orientation, or disability.
