Tower Chorale

Patrick Godon has served as Artistic Director of The Tower Chorale since 2011, shaping the ensemble’s artistic vision, rehearsal process, and performance standards. Under his leadership, the Chorale has earned a reputation for polished performances, ambitious repertoire, and a musical culture that balances rigor with respect for the volunteer singers who choose to be there. An accomplished pianist, organist, and conductor, Patrick maintains an active performing career alongside his work with the Chorale. He performs regularly with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra as a principal keyboardist on piano, organ, celesta, and synthesizer, and has appeared with the CSO at Orchestra Hall, Ravinia, on national and international tours, and at Carnegie Hall. His performances have also been heard on WFMT, Chicago’s classical music station.
