American Crossroads

City Voices is the most versatile community chorus in the Chicago area. Members are experienced choral musicians who understand the joy of singing a diverse, challenging repertoire with friends, and bringing the beauty of that work to our community.

A program of American choral tradition in all its diversity: colonial era hymns, spirituals, and contemporary voices in honest dialogue

United Lutheran Church

City Voices presents a program of American choral music that spans eras and genres and reflects a nation shaped by movement, tension, and possibility.From its earliest songs to contemporary voices, American music has always lived at the intersection of place, belief, and change. American Crossroads brings together colonial era anthems, traditional folk music, and works by modern composers to offer an honest, wide-angled portrait of where we are now.Spirituals such as “Elijah Rock” will stand alongside Ruth Crawford Seeger’s searching “Chant,” Scott Joplin’s “A Real Slow Drag,” and choral reimaginings of familiar texts and tunes, including “Nearer, My God, to Thee” and “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” Contemporary reflections by Eric Whitacre and Ola Gjeilo will invite stillness and introspection. And folk songs will remind audiences that American music is lived, shared, and sung.Rather than prescribing answers, American Crossroads listens closely — to history, to the present moment, and to the many paths forward.
