Chicago Choral Artists celebrate 31 years of innovative music making for Chicagoland audiences. Whether Gregorian chant or gospel,
Chicago Choral Artists present vocal artistry of the highest level, engaging listeners in a unique world of song.
CCA programs feature new commissions and music of indigenous cultures in tandem with fresh interpretations of classic masterworks.
Founded in 1975 as the James Chorale, Chicago Choral Artists have enjoyed many performances here and abroad including programs
and interviews on NPR, WBEZ, WFMT, WNIB, and ABC TV. "Tidings of Comfort and Joy" was named one of the best holiday recordings of 1998
by John von Rhein of the Chicago Tribune and also received a glowing review in Fanfare magazine. "Polished elegance. . . atmospheric performance. . .
(they) stand out from the crowd." (Lawrence Johnson, Chicago Tribune).
