About Us
City Voices is one of the most versatile chamber choruses in the Chicago area. Founded in 2009 in Oak Park, the ensemble has built a strong reputation as a welcoming group of experienced singers who deliver high-quality performances. City Voices explores challenging, eclectic, and inspiring music from the vast global span of choral compositions. Each season, we prepare a carefully curated repertoire and share its beauty in a series of public performances.
City Voices presents its own programs and also collaborates with other ensembles. Recent programs have included Monteverdi Vespers; Musicians Wrestle Everywhere, a concert of music inspired by poetry; Music Rich and Strange, with works by Vaughan Williams and his contemporaries; and performances of the Kodály Missa Brevis and other sacred works.
City Voices is directed by William Chin, a leading figure in the Chicago choral scene. He is founder and artistic director of The Oriana Singers, an international-prize-winning vocal ensemble, and is active as a conductor in the Chicago area. Mr. Chin’s past positions have included Assistant Conductor of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, Artistic Director of Chicago Children’s Choir, and Artistic Director of Pro Musica Youth Chorus.
