Vocal and Instrumental Groups

There are several vocal and/or instrumental groups within the Music Club.

Acoustic Instrument Group

Open to club members who play any sort of acoustic instrument - including but not limited to guitar, banjo, mandolin, string bass, harmonica, ukulele and drum (and to those who just want to come and sing along). The format is a very informal jam session with song selection moving from player to player. Attendees are encouraged to bring several songs for the group to play - words and chords are appreciated. This is a no pressure setting - attendees are not required to do anything - and in fact do not have to play an instrument in order to attend as singing along is a big part of the experience. The group meets the 1st, 2nd, 3rd (with a few exceptions) and 4th Mondays of each month. See the Calendar for the exact dates and times.
For more information, please contact Ellen Petersen at 847-507-3740.

Gospel Singers

The Gospel Singers perform gospel music at various senior residences as a community service. They will be starting up again this fall with Kathy Head as their new director. They plan to rehearse on Mondays. If you're interested in joining this group, contact Kathy Head at 623-826-2749 for more information.

Grand Chorale

An auditioned group of about 32 singers taken from the ranks of the Grand Singers. The Chorale performs a few songs at each of the Grand Singers' concerts. For more information, please contact Kathy Head at (623) 826-2749.

Grand Singers

A chorus of 125 volunteer singers. They rehearse once a week from September to April. They put on two concerts each year: one in the spring and a Holiday concert in early December. For more information, please contact Kathy Head at (623) 826-2749.
