A VETERANS DAY SALUTE

The Northshore Concert Band, a nationally acclaimed adult wind band from the Chicagoland area, kicks off its 59th concert season with an energetic series of patriotic selections. "A Veterans Day Salute" honors the men and women of the Armed Forces. A highlight of the program will included the resident national anthem vocalist for the Chicago Blackhawks, Jim Cornelison, as guest soloist.

Jim Cornelison is in his seventh season as the Blackhawks' full-time national anthem singer, having made regular appearances singing the anthem at the United Center since 1996. He has performed nationally and internationally with some of the biggest names in opera, such as Plácido Domingo and Zubin Meta. Known as a heroic tenor for the dark color of his voice but ability to sing in a tenor range, he has sung with opera companies in Bordeaux, London, Brussels and San Francisco, among many other places. Jim was asked to serve as the sole anthem singer for the Blackhawks starting with the 2008-2009 hockey season. This coincided with the start of televising Hawks games on WGN and Comcast and the emergence of the team as a powerhouse in the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
