Program

Peter Storms is a Chicago-based singer and multi-instrumentalist who has built a reputation as a sensitive accompanist and interpreter of many musical styles, a detailed transcriptionist, a fearless sight reader, and a skilled orchestrator and arranger. Second to collaborating with fellow musicians, his favorite activity is finding new ways to understand and interpret works which are over- (or under) played. His work as music director and sound designer has been heard on many stages throughout Chicago, work for which he earned a Joseph Jefferson Equity Citation for Outstanding Sound Design. Peter has created music for performing artists and ensembles across the country and has toured with Irish tenor Michael Londra, also conducting the orchestra on Michael's Emmy-nominated PBS special, Beyond Celtic.

C21 Women's Ensemble brings together singers from diverse backgrounds to celebrate humanity's resilience and strength through the universal language of music. Founded in 2014 by celebrated choral leader Marty Swisher, the group began as a mixed choir presenting a variety of genres. In 2017, the focus shifted to treble voices, showcasing the work of women composers and underrepresented artists. Today, C21 seeks to use music to build community, inspire strength, and stir souls to action. Based in Oak Park's historic Unity Temple, the ensemble performs at venues across the city and blends movement and song for exciting, interactive musical experiences.
