Our flagship Choir program consists of four levels, educating children ages 3 to 18. Students learn and perform a wide repertoire in English, French, Ukrainian, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, African languages, American folk songs, and more.

 

Singers gradually grow personally and artistically, from performing in front of families, to participating in local events, and eventually representing Illinois in local and international festivals.

In the coming year, we envision Campanella expanding its reach and impact through enhanced programming and deeper community engagement. Our goal is to continue our mission to help children from various backgrounds prepare socially and emotionally for a bright future as educated, conscious members of the society.

 

Music is our most powerful tool in achieving this goal. We will continue to include in our repertoire folk songs in native languages of our members, so the entire choir can learn the literal meaning and emotional canvas of folk music of different cultures. ​
