Our 76th Season, 2011-12
The North Shore Choral Society invites you to join us for our seventy-sixth season! Back by popular demand, we presented a wide variety of holiday music at Glenview Community Church in late November. In early December we will join with the Evanston Symphony Orchestra for their annual holiday concert in Evanston. In March we will present the hugely popular Carmina Burana by Carl Orff, and we’ll cap off this exciting season in June with G. F. Handel’s gorgeous and thrilling Israel in Egypt featuring full orchestra and soloists.
Don’t miss another blockbuster year with the NSCS!
