On May 11 and 12, the Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale will perform their spring concert, under the theme “Love is in the Air.” From Elvis to the Beatles, the Chorale will bring a new spin on various classic love songs.

Since 1985, the group has brought harmony to the greater DuPage County region. For over 30 years, the group has shared the gift of music with audiences by performing annual concerts available to any and all music fans.

The group performs two main concerts each year, one taking place in May and another taking place in December.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and 3 p.m. on Saturday at the College Church,  335 E. Seminary Ave. in Wheaton.

Tickets for the concerts can be purchased online or at the door. A student discount will even be offered for any students looking to attend. Tickets prices range from $18 to $20 with student tickets ranging from $8 to $10.

For this year’s spring concert, the Chorale will sing various love songs from different genres and time periods. The group will perform music ranging from jazz to oldie classics, even several Beatles covers.

Songs like “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” “Rainy Days and Mondays” and more will be performed by the chorale. The songs will be accompanied by instrumentalists, particularly piano and bass. A few songs will also feature other instruments, like flute, oboe and handbells.

“I’m looking forward to sharing the wide variety of ways in which composers have set music that portrays the theme of love,” said Greg Wheatley, musical director of the Glen Ellyn-Wheaton Chorale.

The chorale consists of 50 to 60 singers from various backgrounds who all share a common love for music. In preparation for a concert like this, the group practices for an average of two hours learning and rehearsing.

“It’s gratifying to see the music come together as each singer learns their part and contributes to the whole,” said Wheatley. “It’s our hope that those in the audience will enjoy the beautiful music. It’s a wonderful theme and there is so much music to sing and listen to.”
