Known to choral musicians as the home of John Rutter,
Clare College has garnered international attention with its inspired
music making. Under the direction of Tim Brown, the choir has toured
internationally to Russia, the Middle East and throughout Europe and
the United States. The choir frequently performs in Britain's major
concert halls with many of the UK's leading orchestras.
The choir has an extensive discography boasting a 2003
recording of John Rutter's requiem which was an Editor's Choice in
The Gramophone magazine. It consequently was nominated for
a Classical BRIT Award and gave the Naxos label its first number one
in the classical charts. The choir also has several recordings on
the Collegium label including Illumina, an exploration of the theme
of light, which was runner-up for a Gramophone Award in 2000.
As part of their current tour to the United States,
the choir will perform in major venues across America in Dallas, St.
Louis, Chicago and New York. The Decatur concert is possible because
of the special relationship between the Millikin University Choir
and Clare College. The ensembles have collaborated in exchanges since
2000.
Tickets are on sale at Central Christian Church or may

tickets should be purchased in advance. Tickets are not expected to
