The Chicago Swedish Male Chorus will present a concert of songs in English and Swedish.

The Chicago Swedish Male Chorus is a part of the American Union of Swedish Singers (AUSS), which organized over 120 years ago at the height of the immigration years. Swedes formed choruses in America to sing the songs they remembered and loved from their homeland. These individual choruses came together in 1892 to form the AUSS. Their first public appearance was at the World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. Over the years the Union has performed for kings and presidents, and sung in the major opera houses of New York, Chicago and San Francisco, as well as Carnegie Hall, New York, Orchestra Hall and Auditorium, Chicago and the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.
Today, there are about 500 members in 24 choruses from coast to coast.
