A Tribute to Ed Ward

St. Cletus Church

Free Admission. Free Parking. Donations Accepted.

The Fine Arts Series will conclude this season with a tribute to our founding Board Member and namesake, Mr. Ed Ward. This concert will celebrate the many facets of Ed's life through story and song, weaving shared memories with Ed's favorite and most iconic musical selections that represent all of the things he loved. The outstanding City Lights Orchestra will provide the core ensemble, joined by nationally renowned soloists, an appearance by the Combined Concert Bands of St. Cletus, St.Francis Xavier, St. Barnabas, and St. Christopher, and many more of Ed's friends and musical colleagues. This once-in-a-lifetime performance will take place at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 14th, and will be held in the church sanctuary, free of charge. This concert is generously sponsored in part by the Music Performance Trust Fund through the Chicago Federation of Musicians, Local 10-108. We invite all of our patrons and supporters to join us as we honor a man without whom there truly would be no Fine Arts Series.
