Securing sponsorship has been a tougher sell than just putting together superior concerts and filling the 380-seat church with warm bodies, Gluzman says. "We were nearly sold-out from the get-go four years ago," reports the artistic director, a Ukraine-born, Israel-trained virtuoso who studied with the legendary pedagogue Dorothy DeLay at the Juilliard School of Music after immigrating to the U.S.. "Our audience comes back year after year, and more and more people are following what we are doing. They like the idea that we don't put up walls between them and the artists. "As for the friends and colleagues who perform with us, many of them will call and ask if we have room for them on the roster for an upcoming festival. I am heartbroken when I have to say no, but I assure them I will be only too happy to invite them back the following year." This year's chamber repertory typically ranges widely – from trios by Mozart and Beethoven, METROMIX and seldom-heard quintets by Max Bruch and Erich Wolfgang Korngold, to a late-night tribute to jazz great Oscar Peterson by pianist Litton.

"Food is our specialty," the violinist declares, smiling. "We feed our musicians three meals a day while they are rehearsing and performing with us. A musician who's well-fed is a happy musician." The festival's shoestring budget of $75,000 would not be possible without private donors and in-kind support. The church donates its space and ushers, while PianoForte Chicago provides a Fazioli piano. WFMT 98.7 FM broadcasts the concerts. Looking to the future, Gluzman and Yoffe toy with the idea of repeating selected programs on a run-out basis at a venue or venues closer to downtown Chicago. But that would require a larger budget and an actual staff, and Yoffe says she feels stretched far enough, at the moment, between her duties as pianist, administrator and fundraiser. "I feel so wrong going to people and asking for money," she says. "We would love to have a couple of companies and foundations step forward to help us. We have to remind people that putting on a festival of this caliber is not a one-way street." Following is the 2014 festival schedule: 6 p.m. Wednesday.

  • Popmusik Im Zeichen Des Herrn Wie Ordensleute Und Priester Die Charts Stürmen
    KOMMUNikaTION IM KLOSTer Popmusik im Zeichen des Herrn Wie Ordensleute und Priester die Charts stürmen. Von Petra Hemmelmann usik ist elementarer Bestandteil christlicher Liturgie. Singende Nonnen, Priester und Mönche sind daher Man sich nichts Ungewöhnliches. Wenn die Geistlichen statt „Ave Maria“ und „Gloria“ aber Pop- und Rocksongs trällern, sorgt das auch mehr als 20 Jahre nach den singenden Nonnen im Hollywoodhit „Sister Act“ noch für Erstaunen und Begeisterung. Gerade in den vergangenen Monaten feierten einige Sänger mit Schleier und Soutane große Erfolge. Unter den Augen von Millionen Zuschauern hatte die Jury der italienischen Castingshow „The Voice of Italy“ im März ihren „Sister-Act“-Moment. Bei der Blind Audition müssen sich die Ju- roren allein nach Gehör für einen Kandidaten entscheiden, bevor sie ihn auch sehen können. Kein Problem für Cristina Scuccia, 25 Jahre, die mit einer rockigen Version von Alicia Keys Welt- hit „No one“ alle vier Juroren in weniger als einer Minute dazu bringt, sich für sie umzudrehen. Und allen vieren ist die Verblüf- fung ins Gesicht geschrieben – denn vor ihnen steht eine jun- ge Frau in schwarzer Ordenstracht. „Ma sei una suora vera?!“ – „Bist du eine echte Nonne?!”, platzt es aus Jurorin Raffaella Carrà heraus. „Sono una suora verissima!“, antwortet die junge Frau strahlend – eine ganz echte Nonne, tatsächlich. Die Sizilianerin gehört zur Kongregation der Ursulinen- schwestern von der Heiligen Familie, lebt und arbeitet in Mai- land. Wie sie darauf kam, an der Castingshow teilzunehmen? „Ich habe eine Gabe und die gebe ich euch!“, erklärt Cristina ge- Petra Hemmelmann, lassen. Mit Liedern wie „Girls just want to have fun“ und „What Dipl.-Journ., ist a feeling“ erobert die singende Nonne in wenigen Wochen die Promotionsstudentin Herzen des Publikums.
