View Calendar for "Cathedral Singers"
The Cathedral Singers is an independent ensemble of professional
vocalists resident in the Chicago area. These singers participate
in a wide range of musical activity, from early music performance
to jazz and musical theater. Their collective experience and superb
musicianship contribute to a unique interpretation of many styles
of choral music.
Founded in 1991 primarily as a recording ensemble, the Cathedral
Singers have produced over twenty compact disc recordings under
the direction of conductor and composer Richard Proulx. These recordings
include the Ars Antiqua Choralis series, Proulx Conducts Proulx,
a collection of Joseph Gelineau's psalm settings, and several collections
of music from the Iona Community, among others. Two selections from
the Singers' recording Sublime Chant were featured on a May 1996
episode of the NBC television drama ER, and the entire chant recording
is included in a recent New Earth video, Mount Shasta: Meeting of
Heaven and Earth. Their 1995 and 2000 highly-acclaimed recordings
of Baroque Music from the Bolivian Rain Forest have been distributed
worldwide. The ensemble has appeared with the Metropolis Symphony
Orchestra, and has presented concerts in Saint Louis, Milwaukee,
Cincinnati, Saint Paul, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and
Chicago. Further information about the Cathedral Singers is available
