Pure Imagination

"I just love music, but I love the sense of community at these concerts," wrote one audience member after our recent spring concert, "Pure Imagination." That pretty much sums up why the Evanston Civic Orchestra and Chorus exist. We were delighted to share our talents and love of music with family, friends, and community members in a performance of familiar music from movies and musicals. If you missed the concert, or you just want to relive the experience, you can watch the concert videos.

Thank You Sponsors!

The ECOC operates with financial support from many sources, including sponsorships from individuals and businesses. Be sure to thank and support the many sponsors of the 2021-2022 season. Their generosity was crucial to our success.

Congratulations to Savanna Hatch, 2022 winner of the ECOC Scholarship! Savanna has played in nine concerts with the Evanston Civic Orchestra since she joined in 2017. Read more on the ECOC website.

Save the Dates

Mark your calendars! We're starting Christmas music on September 22nd. Dr. Matthew Mainella will continue in his 4th season as ECO director, and we're excited to announce that Victoria Cavazos will direct the ECC. Both directors have been working hard to finalize the program of "Christmas Classics." Stay tuned for more information and registration links in August.

Audience Survey

If you were in the audience for our Christmas concert (A Merry Messiah Christmas) or our Spring concert (Pure Imagination) we'd love to have your feedback through our very short audience survey. If you filled out the paper survey at the spring concert you don't need to take it again.

Member Survey

All ECOC members who participated during the fall or spring are invited to complete the very short member survey if they didn't complete it earlier this spring.

Thanks for taking 2 minutes to help us out by sharing your thoughts. We use the information in our planning and also for completing grants.
