Sponsorship Request – Remembrance and Thanks
Dear Friends
We are so grateful for your continued interest in Chicago Chopin Society, and kindly ask for your support and participation in an important community virtual event:
Remembrance and Thanks
This 45 minute program, to be first presented as a Facebook Live Event in November, will feature the LCO and the debut of two new virtual videos: music of Mozart “performed at home” by 30 of LCO orchestra members and a new composition, the “Soul of America,” by maestro Philip Simmons
with computer generated sounds-and accompanying iconic paintings by renown American artists.
The orchestra recording session will be on Saturday, October 24, at the Polish National Alliance, who is our Principal Sponsor. Music will be performed by our 12 piece string orchestra, and include the opening movement of Jaroslaw Golembiowski’s “Suite for Heroes,” dedicated to our first responders, health care workers, and educators. There will also be a special virtual performance by vocalist Van Gilmer (from his home in Wilmette) of “Deep River “and his timely and moving composition, “JUSTICE (The Best Beloved of all Things).”
