Musical Offering Stars
A special concert benefitting The Musical Offering's community music programs.
- Chicago Choro is a new Brazilian instrumental music group on the scene. Formed in the summer of 2009, Chicago Choro brings to the Chicago area a taste of a typical "roda de choro" or "choro jam session" common in Brazil. Musicians include Linda Binder, mandolin; Julie Koidin, flute; Jeff Binder, guitar; Steve Ramsdell, guitar; and John Beard, 7-string guitar/cavaquinho/pandeiro.
- Chicago Klezmer Ensemble develops modern klezmer music that draws directly from historical sources, building upon tradition to create original interpretations and compositions. The result is equally at home on a concert stage or at a celebration: earthy, emotional music, elevated in spirit yet deeply, warmly human. Musicians include Kurt and Annette Björling and other stars of the Chicago klezmer scene.
- Musical Offering Divas offer gems from the operatic stage repertoire in a manner that is engaging, informative and accessible. The Divas are Kirsten Hedegaard and Victoria Holland, sopranos, and Susan Payne and Sarah Ponder, mezzo-sopranos, with Jennifer McCabe at the piano.
- The Dennis O'Sullivan Band is Chicago's hottest new Irish music group. A diverse lineup from Clare, Kerry, England, Chicago, and Minnesota presents a sound with great character and lift, accompanying the heartbreaking, timeless singing of Dennis O'Sullivan. Dennis O'Sullivan, voice; Gerry Carey, accordion; Pauline Conneely, banjo; Devin Shepherd, fiddle; Jesse Langen, guitar.
