The Tower Chorale

The Tower Chorale A 90+ voice chorus in Chicago's Western suburbs with a nearly 40-year tradition of musical excellence. Under the able direction of Mr.

The Tower Chorale is an 90-voice community choir comprised of amateur and professional singers. Our roster includes former members of the Chicago Symphony Chorus, the Apollo Chorus, the Grant Park Symphony and various other community theater and music organizations. Our season currently consists of three highly diverse programs per year. 1) December: sacred and secular holiday music accompanied by

an instrumental ensemble. 2) March: a formal concert of a “masterwork,” an oratorio or other such work with professional soloists, usually accompanied by orchestra. 3) May: music ranging from Broadway to Hollywood, folk songs and world music, the “Great American Songbook” to pop music and rock and roll. In 1986, James Winfield and the Western Springs Community Center Association launched a local community chorale, featuring music appealing to all ages and musical tastes. Winfield and our current director, Patrick Godon, the Tower Chorale has since become recognized as one of the premier vocal music groups in the area. Enjoyed by over 1,500 patrons each season, the Tower Chorale has greatly enhanced the musical diversity and fabric of life in the western suburbs. We look forward to sharing our musical experiences with you and invite you to join us as an audience member, singer and supporter.

❤️ Community Spotlight ❤️

As we look ahead to Folkfest: Songs of America — Then and Now, we’re still thinking back fondly on our performance of Elijah and the wonderful community that surrounded it.

A heartfelt thank you to Antonino’s Ristorante (701 W. Hillgrove, La Grange) for their warm hospitality following that concert. From the delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere, it was the perfect place to gather, unwind, and celebrate a meaningful afternoon of music together.

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with great service and genuinely kind people, we highly recommend paying them a visit. 🍝✨

And now, we turn the page…

Our season finale, Folkfest, is just around the corner—a joyful, relaxed program filled with songs you know and love, celebrating community, storytelling, and the American spirit.
