Do you want to experience the thrill of creating beautiful music under the leadership of a gifted conductor? Come join an amazing group of people who love to sing as much as you do. See if this is the musical experience you’ve been looking for. There will be friendly faces greeting you at the door. You'll feel the excitement in the air and you’ll hear lots of laughter – that’s the Connecticut Choral Society.

We welcome new members (high school and up), so come and join in our passion and fun. You’ll be glad you did!

Artistic Director Eric Knapp invites singers (high school and above) to audition for the 2014/2015 season. Prospective members are invited to attend any September rehearsals as guests before committing to join the chorus. Rehearsals are held Monday evenings (7:30 - 9:30 pm) at the South Britain Congregational Church Hall (693 S. Britain Road, Southbury), beginning September 8th. You can then schedule an audition: You'll sing a brief portion of a song, will answer some questions about your general music background and experience, and be assessed on vocal range to ensure proper voice part placement. No preparation is required on your part.

The 2014/2015 season will consist of four concerts: Candlelight & Carols Concerts on December 20th and 21st, featuring the world premiere of Prayers from the Manger (a Christmas suite by singer and composer-in-residence Ron Dukenski), seasonal pieces with full bell choir, and Eatnenmen Vuilie (from the movie Frozen). On April 25th and 26th, CCS will join with the New Jersey Choral Society and the Waterbury Symphony Orchestra to perform Verdi’s Requiem at the Naugatuck Valley Community College Fine Arts Center in Waterbury.

The Connecticut Choral Society, established in 1980, consists of 75 auditioned singers representing over 20 towns. The ensemble was recently named by WTIC as one of the top five choral ensembles in the state. CCS is committed not only to presenting choral music of the highest artistic quality, but also to “making music that makes a difference” in our communities.
