A heartfelt thank you to all of our conductors, volunteers, and singers who made this summer so special. Week after week, you came together to share not only beautiful music, but also the sense of community that makes Summer Sings so meaningful. We can’t wait to sing with you again next year!

🎹 Thank You, David Maiullo! 🎶

As we prepare for our final Summer Sing of the season, we'd like to take a moment to recognize someone who has been an essential part of this summer's music-making.

David Maiullo has been our accompanist for four of this year's six Summer Sings, bringing extraordinary artistry, professionalism, and unwavering support every week. Quite simply, we couldn't have done it without him.

An internationally respected collaborative pianist, David has performed in more than 3,000 recitals and has appeared at Carnegie Hall, Alice Tully Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall, and venues throughout Europe and Japan. Opera Now Magazine praised him as a "pianist of sentiment, discretion and style."

To us, however, David is much more than an accomplished musician. He is the steady musical foundation that allows our singers to perform with confidence, grace, and joy. His artistry, generosity, and dedication have made this Summer Sings season truly special.

Thank you, David, for sharing your incredible talent with Masterwork Chorus. We are so grateful for everything you've contributed this summer.

Join us for one final evening of music as David accompanies Stephen Sands, our outstanding soloists, and everyone who comes together to sing Beethoven's Mass in C.

Let's end this wonderful Summer Sings season together!

🎶 Welcome Back, Mary Pat Finucane! 🎶

Some soloists are special because of their extraordinary careers. Others are special because they're part of our family.

For us, Mary Pat Finucane is both.

As our beloved Alto Section Leader, Mary Pat does so much more than sing beautifully. Week after week, she keeps our altos organized with thoughtful notes, encouragement, and incredible attention to detail. She is always looking out for us, helping each singer be their very best. The Alto section truly shines because of her leadership, generosity, and musicianship.

We're thrilled to welcome her back as one of our featured soloists for Beethoven's Mass in C.

Mary Pat holds a Master of Music degree from Northwestern University and has performed with renowned ensembles including the Chicago Symphony Chorus, The Music of the Baroque, Ravinia Festival, National Chorale, and many others. She has appeared under legendary conductors including Sir Georg Solti, Carlo Maria Giulini, Claudio Abbado, James Levine, and Daniel Barenboim, bringing her artistry to opera houses and concert stages across the country.

For us, however, Mary Pat is so much more than an accomplished artist. She is a trusted colleague, a mentor, a leader, and a cherished friend.

Please join us in welcoming her back to the solo spotlight!
