Rehearsals

Elmhurst Choral Union rehearses on Tuesday evenings from 7:00 to 9:30 p.m., (usually!) in Irion Hall, room 200 at Elmhurst University. To see a PDF of the campus, click here. 

There is on-campus parking (a nice big lot on the north side of Alexander Boulevard), but it’s not right next to Irion Hall, so plan an extra five minutes to walk to the building.

During the final week before a performance, we hold a Saturday rehearsal in beautiful Hammerschmidt Chapel. Major concerts are held in Hammerschmidt Chapel at 3:00 pm on a Sunday (December and late April).

Membership Requirements: To maintain a high quality performance with professional orchestra and soloists, members are financially responsible for 5 tickets to each in-person concert and also pay an annual membership fee. You will need to purchase a copy of the score, available at rehearsals. Members are not required to show proof of vaccination at this time. Masks are optional during rehearsals, with the decision to wear masks for the concerts made closer to the concert date if necessary.

Come sing with us!

Visitors are always welcome.
