St. Charles Singers, founded in 1984, is a cadre of 40 professional musicians under the direction of Maestro Jeff Hunt. Recognized for their sublime interpretation of choral classics, the singers strive for excellence in every performance, sing with passion, and demonstrate a sincere desire to create beauty and connect with their audience. The choir’s home venue is Baker Memorial United Methodist Church in St. Charles, IL. Performances also occur in and around the city of Chicago, and occasionally the choir travels nationally and internationally.
In February of 2016 the choir enjoyed the industry-wide release of its most recent recording project, Bushes and Briars. The recording has been well-reviewed and has been featured locally and nationally on classic music stations.
St. Charles Singers continues its Mozart Journey, a musically challenging undertaking of an estimated 17 concerts, through which the complete known volume of Mozart’s sacred choral compositions will be performed and recorded.
Initiatives include the awarding of higher education scholarships, invitations to high school choral groups to serve as concert assistants, and the annual Sing! Workshop for Teens. The ensemble seeks to include education and outreach as a means of acting on its mission and vision.
