Join us Saturday, December 5 at 7 p.m. for a performance by a cappella choir Coriolis. The acoustics of St. Mark's 1891 sanctuary have carried music for over a century, and every note carries that legacy forward. Admission is free. A freewill offering will be collected, split between the performers and St. Mark's Piano and Organ Fund. Following the concert, join us for a festive reception in the parlor.
📍 St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 1509 Ridge Ave, Evanston

Meet the performer:
Coriolis was founded by Gregg Skalinder in 1987 to bring together skilled volunteer singers who share a passion for compelling a cappella repertoire and ensemble singing. Though Coriolis repertoire covers a broad range of styles and musical eras the group has a special affinity for 20th century and contemporary composers and both American and British choral traditions.
Coriolis members come to the ensemble from a variety of careers: business professional to educator, tech talent to professional musician, property manager to non-profit leader, college student to retiree. Coriolis strives to create and share beauty with one another across multiple generations (singer ages range from early 20s to late 70s) and finds deep satisfaction sharing it with the group's supportive audience.
Coriolis singers have performed with community, volunteer, collegiate, and professional chamber choirs, chorales, and vocal ensembles in Chicago, the midwest, and across the United States.
