DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Mimi Brile could tell you how the Downers Grove Choral Socieety has been her second home — the way her husband and children pitched in on her fundraising efforts, how the music sustained her when she lost her husband and son, that the friendships built on music revitalized her and even brought her new love.
But for Brile, the story of the Downers Grove Choral Society is one of community connections.
A volunteer chorus of men and women, the group performs an annual series of concerts that brings a range of music and acclaimed guest soloists to West suburban audiences. But the chorus also is known for singing in nursing homes, at the village’s tree-lighting ceremony and in the Fourth of July Parade.
