Evanston Civic Chorus Director: Anyone can sing

Evanston resident Victoria Cavazos has been involved with music her entire life. In 2021, she sang with the Evanston Civic Chorus. During that year’s Christmas concert, she was asked to direct some practices the director was unable to attend.

“That was very exciting for me, because I’ve had a lot of experience with public school choirs, but that was my first time directing a community choir,” Cavazos said. In the spring, her predecessor had to leave entirely, and Cavazos took the director position. “They asked me to fill in for that concert, then after that asked me to officially be the new director,” she said.
