Maine West To Host Dist. 62 Choirs In Annual Festival


Maine West High School will host Des Plaines Elementary School Dist. 62 choirs in the collaborative second annual Choral Festival at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 14 in West’s Spectator Gym. The concert is free and open to the public.

All Dist. 62 schools will participate along with the Maine West Chorus. During the day, Dist. 62 choir students take a field trip to Maine West to rehearse with guest conductor, Catherine Delanoy, and Maine West Choral Director James Schiffer in preparation for the concert.

“What could be more inspirational than over 300 children singing together,” said music teacher Mary Prost. “We are fortunate to have a strong partnership with Dist. 207 as we collaborate to showcase our amazing fine arts programs here in Dist. 62.”

For those unable to attend, a live stream of the concert can be accessed at
