ESO performs five regular season concerts at the beautiful, contemporary venue at Elmhurst Christian Reformed Church. Periodically, ensembles from the ESO perform concerts at Mayslake Peabody Estate in Oak Brook.

All concerts are general admission seating. Doors open ½ hour before the performance.

Behind the Music Stand With Ted Hatmaker

Dr. Hatmaker has been hosting entertaining concert previews for the ESO for eighteen years. Hatmaker holds a Ph.D. in music theory from the University of Iowa and is a published author and an active composer. He is on the faculty of Northern Illinois University where he teaches music theory, aural skills and composition. A strong advocate for an educated concert audience, Ted offers lively and enlightening information about the composers and musical selections for the day’s performance. The free talks take place 1¼ hour prior to each ECRC event in the upper level Gathering Place.
