Chronic Complainers to Unite in Harmony

By Tim State in Arts & Entertainment on Sep 22, 2007 2:37PM

For all you Chicagoist fans who love to bitch--whether it’s about the CTA, Macy’s, Comments by Guest #2, or a typo right here on Chicagoist--we’ve found a new forum for you: The Complaints Choir of Chicago. Artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen will work with local musician Jeremy Jacobsen to create the first choir of complainers in the Midwest.

No singing experience is needed, just a good gripe. The choir will meet during five workshops in October. The grand premiere of the Complaints Choir will be November 3 at the MCA, as part of the Humanities Festival.

Chronic complainers are encouraged to send their complaints to complaintschoir@yahoo.com, and all complaints, from daily irritations to global nuisances, will be stitch together with all participants during the workshops.
