The Naperville Chorus Presents "Carmina Burana" with The Naperville Winds
The Naperville Chorus will present “Carmina Burana” by Carl Orff with The Naperville Winds, directed by Sean Kelly. Featured soloists will include Soprano Corinne Costell, Tenor Reuben Lillie, and Bass Nicolai Janitsky. “Carmina Burana” is based on dramatic and satirical medieval texts found in a Bavarian monastery. The dynamic opening and closing song, “O Fortuna,” has been widely used in modern films.
The Chorus is directed by Reid Taylor and Assistant Director Jon Warfel. Chorus Master Reid Taylor has led and prepared choruses throughout the United States and Europe. His choruses have engaged in international tours and have been invited to perform at Carnegie Hall. Taylor studied opera and piano at the Cleveland Institute of Music and linguistics at Case Western Reserve and can also currently be seen conducting The Singing Men of Oakbrook. He is the Founder of Reid Taylor Productions and also serves as a board member and treasurer of Lyric Opera Stage Artists.
The Naperville Chorus was founded in 1976 and draws its members from Naperville and the greater Chicagoland area. The Chorus has a wide repertoire, with a focus on classic choral works, often including elements of gospel, jazz, Broadway, and other genres. The Chorus is closely associated with North Central College in Naperville and is part of the Music Department curriculum. Students can earn college credit through Chorus participation. Since 2008, the Chorus has been privileged to call the Wentz Concert Hall and Fine Arts Center its performance and rehearsal home.
