Mixed Chamber Ensemble

Based in Flossmoor, IL

The Midwest Motet Society was formed in the winter of 2006. With a mission to bring quality chamber choral music to Chicago's Southland, the Midwest Motet Society is the only chamber ensemble performing this repertoire on a regular basis in the area.

The Midwest Motet Society is a chamber choir, based in the southern suburbs of Chicago. There is a whole repertoire of music not usually performed in our community and we believe it should be. The music we perform is a very specific kind-written for only a few voices on a part, such as madrigals and motets and even Bach Cantatas. Brahms wrote music for vocal quartets and piano and we have performed two of those works. With only a few voices on a part, each person and their voice is very important.

There is a greater opportunity to really know the other singers and to react to them musically. As a chamber choir, we usually perform in smaller venues, such as churches or people's homes. There is an intimacy not only with each other in our ensemble, but with our audience.

Founded - 2006.
