Our Hitory
Campanella Children's Choir was founded in 2000 by Marianna Kosaya, an accomplished musician and educator with a vision to create a nurturing environment where children could explore and develop their musical talents. Starting with just a small group of singing toddlers, Campanella has grown into an award-winning ensemble known for its high standards in music education and performance. Over the years, the choir has expanded its repertoire and reach, becoming a cherished cultural institution in the Chicago suburbs.
​
In the early years, Campanella focused on preserving and promoting cultural heritage through music. As the choir gained recognition, it began to attract children from diverse backgrounds, fostering a rich and inclusive community. This diversity has become a cornerstone of Campanella's philosophy, as the choir continues to break down cultural barriers and promote understanding through the universal language of music. The choir's performances now include a wide array of genres and languages, reflecting its commitment to celebrating global musical traditions.
​
Under Marianna's leadership, Campanella has participated in numerous prestigious events, including performances at Carnegie Hall and international festivals. The choir's success is a testament to the dedication of its members and the support of the community. Today, Campanella not only offers exceptional choral training but also provides a variety of artistic programs, ensuring that children receive a well-rounded education. As we look to the future, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of creative leaders and fostering a lifelong love of music in every child.
