(CHICAGO) "For Good" - Wicked | One-Day Choir
2026-01-27 18:30 - 21:30 | Artifact Events, 4325 North Ravenswood Avenue, Chicago, IL, 60613, United States
No auditions. No judgment. No need for perfection. Just the joy of singing in harmony with a room full of beautiful humans.

WHAT IS A ONE-DAY CHOIR?
Gaia Music Collective’s One-Day Choir series is an opportunity to sing in a choir for one day only. A celebration of song and the connective power of singing in harmony. An opportunity to build community, make some new friends, and raise our powerfully diverse voices as one.
No auditions. No commitment. No judgment or need for perfection.
Just the joy of creating something bigger than ourselves with a room full of beautiful humans!
For each choir, we pick a piece of music to rehearse and sing our hearts out to. In our time together, we’ll:

Play some fun singing games, warmups and connection games
Work through the piece section by section
Break down the lyrics and emotions at play in the song
Shape some key musical moments
And record some casual rehearsal videos of the piece to have for ourselves and share with the greater Gaia community

Whether you’re a vocal ensemble veteran or have never sung in a group before, you are welcome here – all experience levels are valued in Gaia Music Collective!

OUR SONG THIS TIME AROUND
This season, we gather around “For Good” from Wicked — a song that reminds us that every encounter, every shared note, has the power to change us. In its harmonies, we honor the friends who have walked beside us, the ones we’ve met only once, and the ones we’re still becoming.
We invite you to lend your voice to this spell of gratitude and connection — to sing not only for good, but because of the good we’ve known in one another.

LEARNING THE MUSIC
Sheet music and vocal recordings of each part will be available as learning resources at least a week before the event, to accommodate multiple ways of learning. These resources will either be included in your order confirmation or sent out in an email!
The intention is for us to come into the gathering having already familiarized ourselves with the parts, so that we can spend our time together really diving into the joys of connection and expression in the music rather than simply teaching parts one by one. That being said, we’re just doing this for ourselves, so there’s no need to stress over it (and definitely no need to memorize it or get it “perfect”, ever)! It’s also often easier to sing in person, when the rest of our part-buddies are singing the part with us. The community is here to support! Our primary intention here is simply to have fun and make some great music.
(If this style of learning isn’t your cup of tea, we have other group singing events where you don’t need to prepare at all! Check out our CircleSinging gatherings and House Shows.)

LED and FACILITATED BY:
This session will be facilitated by our amazing Founder and Lead Facilitator, Matt Goldstein.
Matt Goldstein (he/him) is an award-winning arranger, facilitator, improviser, songwriter, and educator who is known for his emotive vocal arrangements, soulful singing, heart-forward facilitation, and visionary leadership. After making waves in the a cappella scene as music director of The Vassar Devils and Hyannis Sound, he went on to found Gaia Music Collective, a collaborative music community that is achieving international recognition for its work in creating kind, connective, accessible spaces for musical play and expression. Along with designing and leading Gaia’s viral “One-Day Choir” series, Matt is passionate about leading circle singing, facilitating improvised jams, and cultivating exciting new projects in the vocal music sphere. He currently serves as Gaia’s Artistic Director and Lead Facilitator, while also performing as an improviser and singer-songwriter, directing at A Cappella Academy (a summer camp for talented young singers), leading Rock Voices (a community pop-rock choir), and teaching vocal improv intensives through his private teaching studio, Flow Labs.

PHYSICAL ACCESSIBILITY:

This is venue is wheelchair accessible!

COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
At Gaia Music Collective, we are dedicated to building a community where creativity, collaboration, and care thrive. The values listed here shape how we work together, how we engage with the world, and how we move toward upholding these principles.

OUR MISSION
Gaia Music Collective is an NYC-based creative community seeking to foster a more connected world through collective music-making. Founded in June of 2021 in a living room in Brooklyn, this project was born out of a desire to create accessible, inclusive, playful spaces for people to explore connection, expression, healing, and release through collaborative song – spaces where folks feel empowered to make music free of judgment or expectation, and to make new friends as our full, beautiful, authentic selves.
We believe that communal music-making is a fundamental human practice, and this project seeks to build spaces for folks to nurture their relationship to music, whether they’re shower singers, professional musicians, or anything in between.
All are welcome in this community. Gaia seeks to foster spaces of belonging for humans of all ages, races, genders, sexual orientations, classes, religions, abilities, national origins, languages, and musical experiences. All we ask is that you bring an open mind, a desire to connect, and a willingness to leave judgment of self and others at the door.

Chicago Beefsteak 2026 [Two Nights]
2026-01-23 19:00 - 2026-01-24 23:30 | DANK Haus German Cultural Center, 4740 N. Western Ave., Chicago, IL, 60625, United States
CHICAGO BEEFSTEAK RETURNS IN 2026 FOR 2 NIGHTS!!!

CHICAGO BEEFSTEAK 2026

The Blockbuster…The Bicentennial…The Beefsteak!
It has been 50 years since Jaws brought in $100 mil. We imagine that summer kicking off as pictured in Dazed and Confused and ending like One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.
US Beef consumption reached an all time high of 89 pounds per person in 1976
That number declined drastically to 56 pounds per person in 2022 while the chicken has crossed the road to 119 pounds per person (includes Turkey).
This, our hungry and parched friends, is unacceptable. Red meat is our foundation and no where on earth is this cornerstone of our diet more celebrated than in Chicago on a cold and wintry night where the faint sounds of laughter, music and the beating of tables reverberates down from the Marunde Ballroom at the Dank Haus across the Brown Line El tracks and into the soul of the city of big shoulders.
The shark in Jaws, affectionately called Bruce after Steven Speilbergs lawyer had the right idea. We challenge you to begin or reaffirm your commitment to yet another two nights of glutinously good times, January 23rd & January 24th!
You know the drill, here are the details:

As always:

Delicious meat prepared and served by the world class butcher Dr. Carol Himmels and crew
Suit/blazer and tie attire
Enormous open bar and crisp German beer
Hall of fame inductees
All You Can Eat
L ive Band

Friday, January 23rd & Saturday, January 24th, 2026
DANK Haus, Chicago
Doors: 7pm // 21+

Thank you for your patronage and hope you are as excited as we are.

Yours,
The Beefsteak Planning Committee
