Preparation for spring concert underway
Celebrate the power of music across cultures at our May 2 concert, an evening that brings voices, traditions, and stories from around the world to one unforgettable stage. This vibrant program honors the joy of praise, the beauty of folk traditions, and the universal language of song. The concert features a stirring tribute to the late Richard Smallwood, including the beloved anthems Total Praise, I Will Sing Praises, and Anthem of Praise—music that has inspired so many with its depth, faith, and soaring harmonies. Expanding beyond the gospel tradition, the program also highlights the rhythmic warmth of Haitian folk music with Peze Kafé, alongside the lyrical charm of the Filipino folk song Rosas Pandan. Rounding out the evening is TaReKiTa, a dynamic North Indian piece that brings infectious energy and intricate rhythmic patterns to life. Join us on May 2 for a rich, global musical journey—one that celebrates praise, heritage, and the joy of coming together through song. Ticket available soon. By the way, if you missed the December holiday concert you can still enjoy the music! The full concert playlist is now available on the choir’s YouTube channel.

CCC Launches Season 23
September 2025
The Chicago Community Chorus (CCC) is back and bolder than ever as it begins its 23rd season, proudly carrying the theme: "Music Enriches Life." Under the visionary leadership of founder and artistic director Dr. Keith Hampton, the chorus is set to deliver a season filled with soul-stirring performances, community connection, and artistic excellence. For Dr. Hampton, this year’s theme isn’t just a slogan—it’s a mission. “Music adds value, depth, and meaning to people’s experiences,” he says. “It goes beyond entertainment—it enhances emotional well-being, connects communities, stimulates creativity, and often gives people a sense of identity or purpose.”
