Community chorus Voices of Hope will present “And the Oscar Goes to… Great Songs from the Movies” on April 13, at 7:30 p.m., in Oak Park at Pilgrim Congregational Church, and on April 14, at 4:00 p.m., in Glenview at Glenview Community Church. Selections include pieces from classic films such as "Casablanca" as well as modern favorites such as "Toy Story" and "Barbie."

Voices of Hope is a welcoming, non-audition chorus created to harness the joy of music for those affected by breast cancer. Some of the 50+ singers are breast cancer survivors, while others have family or friends touched by this disease. In celebrating the power of song, Voices of Hope members relish their strong sense of community and audience-pleasing performances.

Voices of Hope sings a mixture of music genres —from pop and rock to the Great American Songbook. The chorus includes men and women with varied music skills, ranging from those with professional voice training to those with little singing experience.

Recognized for their inspiring and lively concerts as well as their mission supporting breast cancer survivorship, Voices of Hope enjoys other exciting engagements. Last fall, for example, they sang at a Chicago Bears game during Breast Cancer Awareness Month and also appeared on WGN TV.

Singers come from all over Chicagoland and currently rehearse in two optional locations (Oak Park and Glenview). Committed to inclusivity, Voices of Hope is best described as a diverse group of caring, upbeat and congenial choristers. Those who love singing and the camaraderie created by making music together are invited to consider joining the chorus.
