St. John Brebeuf Hosts Lenten Concert April 13

Niles Metropolitan Chorus to present musical masterpieces at St. John Brebeuf April 13

Two musical masterpieces by the Niles Metropolitan Chorus—Requiems by Gabriel Fauré  and John Rutter—will be presented at St. John Brebeuf (SJB), 8307 N. Harlem, Niles,  on Sunday, April 13, at 3 p.m.  The program is part of an on-going concert series which began last year to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the parish.

The event is open to the entire community. There is no charge for admission but there will be a free will offering. The concert is sponsored by SJB and The Niles Bugle newspaper.

"All are welcome to our musical performances and other activities," says Pastor Michael Meany. "As part of our ongoing outreach, we invite non-parish members and the community in general to come and see what we do at St. John Brebeuf."

The special Lenten performance will feature the Musica Lumina Orchestra and Soloists led by Marek Rachelski, Director of Music at SJB.  Open to the entire community, the Niles Metropolitan Chorus, an ecumenical community chorus that includes both adults and teenagers, was established last year under the leadership of Rachelski.  

Upcoming programs in the on-going series include the Land of Lakes Choirboys on Saturday, June 7, at 7 p.m.
