History of the Artist Series
Music has always been central to the Wheaton College community. The Wheaton College Artist Series began in 1950 with a performance by the Robert Shaw Chorale in Coray Alumni Gymnasium. Since then, the last seven decades have featured the world's best orchestras, choirs, string quartets, brass ensembles, dance companies, world music ensembles, and soloists to hundreds of thousands of appreciative concertgoers, including many of Wheaton College's undergraduate music majors who benefit from having these world-class artists here on campus.
The Artist Series regularly partners with local artists and ensembles, such as Camerata Chicago, Ballet 5:8, Black Oak Ensemble and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, as well as local artists and student ensembles from the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music.
"Thanks so much for your hard work and insight into preparing such an ongoing litany of Artist Series. Your audiences are very appreciative, they are inspired, they are refreshed, they are educated, and they have an opportunity to experience a taste of heaven here on earth." – Jon Krier, a long-time subscriber.
