Whether you’re in the hot seat or cheering from the crowd, it’s the perfect chance to connect, vibe, and maybe even spark something real.

Doors open - 6:30 p.m.
Live show from 7:00 p.m. - 8:15 p.m.

Conductors Jonathan Miller and Linda Crabtree Powell lead choristers from all eight Sounds&nbsp;Good Choirs through a repertoire guaranteed to satisfy any Broadway aficionado. Selections include “Oklahoma’s” glorious and exuberant anthem, “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin;’” the dreamy, ironic “Summertime,” from George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess;” and the comic sunshine of Hamilton’s, “You’ll Be Back.” Join us for a delightful afternoon at&nbsp;Fourth Presbyterian Church, Main Sanctuary (Michigan Avenue entrance), 126 E Chestnut St, Chicago, IL, 60611.&nbsp;

Sounds Good Choir is a nonprofit organization with two incredible choral programs. Sounds Good is Chicagoland's largest no-audition choral program for adults 55+. It's fun,&nbsp; good for you (health and well-being benefits are associated with singing in a group), and we're a&nbsp;warm, welcoming community of people who love to sing.&nbsp;Good Memories is the only choir in Illinois for persons with early-stage dementia and their care partners to sing together. The lively, fun, and supportive&nbsp;program is designed especially for those with memory loss. Trained volunteers assist.&nbsp;Both programs are led by professional conductors who are experts in the training of the older adult voice and each&nbsp;session concludes with a free, public concert by each choir. 
Choirs are forming for the "Summer Rocks" session featuring classic rock.&nbsp;To learn more, call 630.395.9542 or visit us online at <a href="https://soundsgoodchoir.org/choral-program/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">soundsgoodchoir.org</a>.
