THE CONCORD CHORUS, a non-profit organization founded in 1945, occupies an honored place in the musical life of Concord, Massachusetts, greater Boston, and MetroWest. The Chorus is a large community of warm, welcoming people who enjoy singing and performing at the highest level. Chorus repertoire spans the 16th century to the present and ranges from small pieces accompanied by a single instrument or sung a cappella to major works performed with professional orchestras and soloists. The chorus also performs in partnerships with other choruses, and often commissions compositions from contemporary composers.
Rehearsals are held Monday evenings in Concord under the baton of Music Director Dr. Kevin Leong. The Concord Chorus welcomes new members at open rehearsals and auditions held in September and January.
Whether you choose to sing with the Chorus or to be part of its audience, the Concord Chorus invites you to share in an exciting and fulfilling musical experience.
