2026 Holiday Workshop & Concerts
OPUS is pleased to announce its 2026 Holiday Workshop and Concerts! Young musicians in various ensembles of violin, viola, cello, double bass, flute, clarinet, and piano are welcome to join. You will be performing inspirational holiday music in small chamber ensembles to seniors at their residences. It is one of the best ways to share your musical talents with those who appreciate them the most.
Join an up to 2 hour coaching session on Monday, December 28 at Our Saviour’s Evangelical Lutheran Church (just south of Edward Hospital), 815 S Washington St, Naperville, IL 60540 (NEW LOCATION!). Give three preferences if you can so we can match with other players’ available times. The Event Music Director is Lauren Culver who works with OPUS Holiday Music Director Amanda Fenton on music selections.
Festive music will be provided ahead of the workshop. OPUS musicians will be coached to be concert-ready. Perform in one to five of OPUS Holiday Concerts at senior homes.
