Dear EARS family,

We depend on members to help produce informative and interesting events each month. We would not be here without your support! We appreciate your membership and we're wishing you and your loved ones a beautiful Thanksgiving holiday!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we are not hosting an EARS event in November. It also tends to be a busy time for all. We will be having our annual holiday party after Christmas.

We are scheming right now on how to make it an evening filled with good company, yuletide and joy! Be on the lookout as we'll have more info on the festivities to come next year :)

EARS in conjunction with Mayne Stage Theater, proudly presents One On One with Ella Jenkins! a Live conversation between the Grammy winner and Smithsonian Folkways artist – dubbed the First Lady of Children’s Music -- and Chicago’s Ralph Covert (creator of Ralph’s World), himself a noted maker of children’s music. Together, Ms. Ella and Ralph will discuss technological advances in recording for children, making a good children’s record, and arts education issues. They will be joined by local Children’s artist, Amy Lowe —- a Parents Choice Gold Award winner—and as Emcee, WVON Radio’s Art “Chat Daddy” Simms. Both are devotees and “adult kids” of Ms. Ella who began her recording career in the 50s – a time when few women were actually recording themselves! Additionally, the City of Chicago will pay homage to this energetic 90-year-old innovator & Wonder-Woman as it presents a special Resolution in her honor before an audience of EARS members and educators from arts programs within the Chicago Public Schools and other institutions!

Sound engineers, music aficionados and educators alike will delight in this Once in a Lifetime opportunity to see, hear, experience & talk to the 1st Lady of Children’s Music – Ms. Ella Jenkins — One on One !!!
