"The flexibility of her voice and her ability to blend and be part of a singing team was what encouraged me to use her in the Apprentice Chorale. “Janai is a really superb musician," said Bell.
As a music student at DePaul University, she joined the Festival’s Apprentice Chorale, a program for pre-professional vocal students that offered advanced training with Chorus Director Christopher Bell, and a chance to perform with the Grant Park Chorus, now located in Millennium Park. What an experience to be on the Festival stage years later. Her mother would pack a picnic Janai and her younger sister would sip sparkling cider from wine glasses as they listened to the music under the stars. A Darien native, Janai Brugger started coming to Festival concerts at the Petrillo Bandshell when she was only nine years old. She’s been part of the Festival family for years.
The Grant Park Music Festival has a special place in my heart there is nothing like it."
