Members of St. Charles Singers | Painter Tina Druce-Hoffman

March brings a first for Rendezvous: a vocal ensemble. Eight extraordinary voices from the St. Charles Singers will fill the stage, led by conductor Jeff Hunt. This internationally touring choir has earned acclaim around the world, yet they remain rooted in the western suburbs. Now, they bring their artistry to Dixon, Lake Forest, and Chicago in a program that promises both power and intimacy.

The music is paired with the live art of Tina Druce-Hoffman, a storyteller at heart whose plein-air paintings are infused with wonder, folktale imagery, and the magic of nature. During these performances, Tina will create in real time, responding to the sound and spirit of what she sees and hears. Her brushwork becomes part of the performance, a visual echo of the music unfolding around her.

Tina Druce-Hoffman’s career spans illustration, graphic design, and teaching, with work featured in collectible card games, books, and countless exhibitions. She explores gouache, watercolor, etching, and more, always guided by insatiable curiosity. Whether outdoors capturing landscapes or at her easel crafting whimsical scenes, her art invites us to pause, reflect, and enter an “elsewhere” just beyond the everyday.

Music that soars. Art that responds in the moment. This is a Rendezvous Arts debut you’ll want to witness.
