Your financial support and volunteer efforts enable us to continue our mission of delivering exceptional choral music.

While ticket sales contribute to our income, we intentionally keep admission prices as low as possible to ensure accessibility for all who wish to enjoy our performances.

"We support Consonance with both our attendance and our dollars. Beautiful music nourishes our souls, tells our stories, builds our communities. In these days it is more needed than ever."

– David and Sandy Lentz

"I love choral music. Consonance performs great choral music, and much of it is newly-composed by contemporary composers. I donate to Consonance because I want to support their work to expose this music to the world. Anyone who loves good music should join me in supporting this organization."

– Larry Hanes

"Consonance has emerged to be one of Chicagoland's finest vocal ensembles. The skillful integrity of their warm choral sound is ideal for their unique programming that explores not only the historical spectrum of repertoire from current composers to those of centuries past, but also the essence and relevance of that music for us now."

– Karen Brunssen

Consonance has been an important part of my life for about 40 years, first as a member and now as an audience member and donor. My husband and I are very happy to support Consonance. Believe me, if they did not offer such a high-quality musical performance, we would not be donors.

– Irmgard Swanson

Sponsorship

We depend on the support of businesses in Illinois and in our local neighborhoods to bring truly beautiful music to life. Choral music, unlike other art forms, uses text and music to impact the lives of those who sing and those who listen, creating a unique bond in our lives that transforms the performers and audience into a single community. By performing music in the villages of Oak Park and River Forest, Consonance brings professional choral music to people who crave expressive art-making at its finest. Opportunities for sponsorship exist at several levels.

Program Advertising

By advertising in our program book throughout the season, all of our concert-going patrons in Oak Park and River Forest will take note of your business, November through June. Our patrons are active in the community, educated, affluent, and passionate about the arts. Align your business with a venerable and growing performing arts organization that has built a reputation for excellence in Chicagoland and beyond.
