Bread & Roses Chorus

Our theme for this fall’s concert is “Making Music in the Heart,” and we are happy to announce the beneficiary will be DeKalb Migrant Aid. They are a “volunteer, community response to the arrival of asylum-seekers, refugees, and migrants to DeKalb, IL, striving to welcome with compassion and meaningful support.” Please check out their website for more info on their organization.

We will be joined by two women, Amanda Luchsinger and Allison Stahl, from the Rock N Roll Wheelchair Dance Class – part of Dimensions Dance Academy – who will be performing original choreography to our piece “This is Me.” What a treat!

We are looking forward to singing for you on Saturday, December 7th at 3:00pm at Westminster Presbyterian Church in Dekalb.

We are also pleased to announce that we have finally achieved our non-profit 503c status! This is something we have been wanting to do for 2 decades, and have made a reality. We can now apply for grants, participate in “Give Back DeKalb County” and your donations can count as tax deductible! Thank you to all our members and supporters who helped in this process.

Rehearsals are now in full swing! We are bringing some songs back that many of us have sung in the past – like “S’Vivon,” and “Blackbird,” and we are learning some new pieces – like “This is Me,” and “Here Comes The Sun.” We are hard at work preparing all our pieces for this Fall’s benefit concert on Saturday, December 7, 2024 at 3:00pm.

Also, we are coming along on attaining our non-profit status, but we are still working on finding a single, long-term director If you have any ways to help us, please reach out.

Also, as you think ahead to next year, mark your calendars for June 7 for our 3:00pm Saturday afternoon Spring concerts (beneficiary to be named later). See you then!
