Season 30: Building A Home

What places do we hold most dear to us? Where do we find warmth, rest, security? Where do we find meaning, joy, love? What do you consider sacred? What does home mean to you?

In its 30th season, CCC looks at what makes a place home. Where we feel meaning, joy, warmth, love. How we work together to build up community and each other.

We will partner with musicians from throughout Chicago, collaborate on works for choir and various instruments, and bring our own community back together in a reunion concert, celebrating our own ‘sacred place.’
