"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."

Hey alumni! An email went out earlier this week with details about exciting alumni opportunities this coming spring/summer. If you didn't get it that means we don't have your current email address, so send us a note at outreach@credomusic.org so you don't miss out on the fun! P.S. Anyone recognize these people?
It was a joy to share Handel's Messiah in the Windy City last weekend! Want more great music in Chicago? Catch Credo alumni in the Civic Orchestra next Wednesday 12/12 at Symphony Center. Pictured: four awesome Credo alumni who play with Civic- Hannah Novak ('13), Bethany Pereboom ('10, '11, '12, '13), Elizabeth Bellisario ('16), and Hannah Cartwright ('09) serving their city at a senior center and a food pantry last month!

Our fiscal year-end fundraising campaign last month was met with an incredible outpouring of support from the Credo family. Thanks to all of you, we eclipsed our goal of raising $55,000 by the end of September! We are so grateful for you all. As a result of this strong showing of support, we’ll soon be announcing the details of our 2019 programming. Here’s a sneak peak in the meantime: Sing-along Messiah performances in Oberlin and Chicago The 21st annual Credo Chamber Music Festival in Oberlin Mission trips to Dominican Republic and Texas (hurricane relief) Dozens of individual projects by alumni around the country Gala concert in Chicago’s Orchestra Hall featuring Rachel Barton Pine and Credo alumnus Matthew Lipman (‘06, ‘07)

We had a great evening yesterday with dinner on the town (students chose from @aladdinseatery, @agaveburritobar or Kim’s Korean) and then headed to the theater for a production of Little Women! Today we continued with rehearsals, as well as some recording sessions in the afternoon. Getting ready and excited for our 3rd and final service day in Oberlin tomorrow! #credo2018

A look back on Thursday’s Service Day, with a visit to PACE, Allen Hospital and Welcome Nursing Home - just a few of the stops on Credos second Service Day of #credo2018
Today students had the great privilege of sitting down with Cleveland Orchestra guest conductor Richard Kaufman who gave an inspiring and encouraging talk! This evening we get to enjoy a special concert of the Credo Fellowship Quartets and tomorrow: student concerts! We hope to see you there, or have you tune in to the livestream.
Oberlin is the place to be today! A full day of coachings and rehearsals, plus a special visit from @beinandfushi - we got to try out some incredible instruments and hear tips on choosing an instrument! After a lovely “dinner on the town”, students are off to go see Romeo & Juliet, a production of @oberlinsummertheaterfestival !
