St. Charles Singers in Concert: 'Music for a While'

The St. Charles Singers will conclude its twenty-eighth concert season this month when founder and artistic director Jeffrey Hunt leads the professional chamber choir in a program of soothing sounds for spring titled "Music for a While."

The ensemble will present "Music for a While" at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 20, at St. Michael Catholic Church, 310  S. Wheaton Ave., Wheaton, Ill.

The internationally recognized mixed-voice ensemble will sing calming compositions on springtime themes - life's pleasures, romantic love, and the delights of the natural world.

The St. Charles Singers' season-finale program takes its title from a song by English Baroque composer Henry Purcell about music's ability to lift the spirits. The song opens with the words, "Music for a while/Shall all your cares beguile."
