Galesburg Community Chorus: 'An American Tapestry

The Galesburg Community Chorus celebrates its 80th anniversary with "An American Tapestry," a fall concert featuring Randall Thompson’s Frostiana and Alex Berko’s Sacred Place, performed with chamber orchestra, violin, cello, and piano. Poetry by Robert Frost comes alive alongside a new work by Monmouth College’s David Wright, introduced live with projected art by singer Basia Krol. The November 15 show at 7:30 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church collects donations for FISH Food Pantry. President Will Culbertson and Artistic Director Dr. Tim Pahel share highlights from the sold-out October 25 choral festival—benefitting Blessings in a Backpack—and invite new singers to join spring rehearsals starting January 19 (7–9 p.m., no audition, $15 dues, students free). Spring brings a first-ever collaboration with Nova Singers in April. Tickets: $20 adults, $17 seniors, free for students, here, or at the door.
