Registration is Open

Along with much of the musical world in 2020, the Evanston Civic Orchestra and Chorus had planned to celebrate the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) with a spring concert including some of his well known music. Alas, that concert had to be canceled due to the COVID 19 pandemic, but we are excited to resurrect the idea for a masterworks concert this spring. Rehearsals begin January 26th!

Mark Your Calendar

All rehearsals are from 6-8 pm at Davis Middle School in Evanston unless noted. Music checkout at the first rehearsal is at 5:30 pm. The concert is at 7:30 pm with a soundcheck and warmup rehearsal at 6pm beforehand.
