"In Flanders Fields"


The Fox Valley Festival Chorus has just released a video recording on YouTube of the famous World War I poem by John McCrae, “In Flanders Fields.” The music was written by Geneva composer, Peter Mitchell, and was first publicly performed in 2006. It has since been widely performed in concerts and Memorial Day services. The Chorus was honored to be asked to perform for this official recording.

Fox Valley Festival Chorus Shares Hope
 
As a result of our recent concerts Hope: A Celebration in Song, The Fox Valley Festival Chorus was able to present a check for $1000 to Hope for Tomorrow in support of US VETCare, their newest program in Aurora, Illinois. The two concerts held in North Aurora at New Hope Lutheran Church were designated as benefit concerts for the Hope for Tomorrow organization. In addition to a portion of the ticket proceeds, the Chorus also donated 100% of the sale of Honor Tickets to Hope for Tomorrow.  People donated money in honor of those who had served in the U.S. Armed Forces past and present.
