Lee R. Kesselman is retiring as the director of the DuPage Chorale and director of choral activities at the College of DuPage after 41 years. The Glen Ellyn resident finishes his tenure with two May concerts, including the world-premiere of his choral work called "Remember Us," which draws on words from unheard voices of American past and present.
If you don t have weekend plans yet, the suburbs and city are teeming with options, from tree lightings to Santa runs to holiday shows to parades to light shows to concerts to festivals and more.
The DuPage Chorale, under the direction of Lee R. Kesselman, with the DuPage Chorale Orchestra, returns to live concert performances with "From the Heart," on Sunday, Dec. 5, at the McAninch Arts Center s stage.
