About this Event

WE HAVE A NEW LOCATION! FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH IN OAK PARK


Celebrating its 20th year, Oak Park’s beloved holiday spectacular “Sing We Joyous!” features family-friendly fun and beautiful seasonal music performed by City Voices, The Oriana Singers, and Pro Musica Youth Chorus.


Oak Park’s treasured December tradition returns this year with the acclaimed mix of beautiful seasonal music and family-friendly hijinks brought to you by dozens of enthusiastic performers.

The exquisite Oriana Singers, one of Chicago’s premier vocal ensembles, will headline the concerts; joining them will be City Voices, the Oak Park-based community chorus, along with the adorable and talented Pro Musica Youth Chorus. Add the Sing We Joyous Orchestra, sprinkle in some guest performers, and audiences are sure to delight in this big-hearted, musical holiday feast. 

“The name of our concerts says it all,” says director William Chin. “It's a joyous time of year filled with the most wonderful music, and we hope to include our audiences in the beauty and light-hearted fun of holiday singing.”

The event has moved to a new performance space for 2025: First United Methodist Church, at 324 Oak Park Avenue, north of Lake Street in Oak Park. But long-time fans will recognize the festive mix of beautiful music and good-hearted frivolity that makes “Sing We Joyous!” a unique holiday concert-going experience.

The program includes a wide variety of seasonal music, including Eric Whitacre’s transcendent Sleep, Jaakko Mäntyjärvi’s wild Finnish romp Pseudo-Yoik, and Christopher Tin’s unforgettable Baba Yetu. Also on the bill are traditional Christmas favorites such as Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming, Sleigh Ride, Stevie Wonder’s What Christmas Means to Me, and a gospel arrangement of Angels We Have Heard on High.
