I'd like to:

"The high level of communication and professionalism shown by all the student groups, performing after just a few days of rehearsals, came from something other than technical level or coaching; it stemmed from a real commitment, a belief in working together towards a greater goal."

Congratulations, students, on a wonderful final performance! See you next year!! #credomusic #credo2019 #developthegift #acknowledgethesource #respondwithservice #credojoy
It's hard to believe we are nearing the finale of Credo 2019! The majority of today was spent in preparation for tomorrow's concert. In the evening, we gathered for an ice cream social. #credo2019 #credomusic #developthegift
Our special 20th anniversary concert is quickly approaching, and today, we welcomed all three of our guest artists! Rachel Barton Pine led Morning Sing, then gave a master class. In the afternoon, several of our violists had the chance to work with Matthew Lipman in a master class. We were also joined by John Nelson, guest conductor, for orchestra rehearsal. #credomusic #credo2019
Chicago service day #2! While the students who served yesterday rested, the other half of our students served with either Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church or The Admiral at the Lake retirement community. Tonight, we welcomed a group of alumni to town and had the chance to hear from them during "alumni firesides." We have an exciting final few days ahead! #credomusic #credo2019 #credoserve #respondwithservice
Our first service day in Chicago is complete! Half of the students participated in various projects in the Lawndale community - even playing at an aquaponic farm! The rest of the students went on a cathedral tour and had a chance to rest before their service day tomorrow. In the evening, we enjoyed dinner on the town and a concert with the Grant Park Symphony at Millennium Park! #credomusic #credo2019 #respondwithservice #credoserve #credojoy
Our first full day in Chicago was a success! Much of the day was spent working on the orchestra repertoire for this Sunday's concert. We enjoyed two meals provided by our hosts, Moody Bible Institute, and ate dinner together at Foodlife in Water Tower Place. #credomusic #credo2019
It was wonderful to see so many students step up this morning to serve at student-led Morning Sing. This afternoon and evening, students performed their final chamber concerts here in Oberlin, followed by an ice cream social. Thanks for a great concert day, everyone! #credomusic #credo2019 #developthegift
Students are continuing preparation for tomorrow's concerts and this afternoon, several groups were taught in chamber music master classes. In the evening, our wonderful faculty members performed for a full house! #credomusic #credo2019
Service day #2 is in the books! We spent the day at a variety of locations in Oberlin and the surrounding area serving and performing for the community. This evening, we continued the tradition of painting one of the rocks in Tappan Square and enjoyed our annual bonfire (with s'mores, of course). #credomusic #credo2019 #credoserve #credojoy #respondwithservice
We had an exciting Wednesday! Bein & Fushi was here throughout the day showcasing some of their instruments for students to try. One of our student chamber groups performed an educational concert at a local art camp in the afternoon. Students had the opportunity to attend a class on how to choose an instrument, as well as a presentation from Oberlin's TIMARA (Technology in Music and Related Arts Program). We finished off the day with dinner on the town and bowling! #credomusic #credo2019 #credojoy
The week continues with inspiring coachings and classes with our faculty! This afternoon, students attended a class on how to choose a good edition of music, as well as a class on the aural heritage of string playing. Another highlight of today was “faculty firesides” this evening, where students had the opportunity to ask faculty members questions and learn more about their careers and personal lives. #credomusic #credo2019
Today was a fantastic start to week 2, with new coaches and new pieces/movements for each chamber group to learn. In the afternoon, students were able to choose between a class about mental aspects of practicing, a presentation on the college admission process, or an organ tour! Enjoy some more pictures from the Credo Olympics yesterday! #credomusic #credo2019
