Columbia Choral Society’s June-August 2021 News

We are again excited to present an outdoor informal performance, free for our community’s enjoyment and our singing pleasure.

Sunday, June 6, 3:30 to 4:00, we will return to the Riverwalk Amphitheater in West Columbia (Gervais Street Bridge and Meeting Street).  Come early and you can catch our warm-ups at 3:00.  Concrete seating so bring a chair if desired. Music for the whole family. You could make it a picnic and take a walk down along the river, too.

American Flag waving in the wind. Here is a recording of the Star Spangled Banner, recorded in November 2020. We are set to sing the SSB at the Fireflies game on August 31, 2021.  Ask us about tickets.

Columbia Choral Society’s 90th Anniversary 2020-2021

As many organizations have done during 2020, we rehearsed virtually and in-person. We are always excited when we are able to share beautiful music with our community.

CCS at Riverwalk Amphitheater

We performed at the West Columbia Riverwalk Amphitheater in December with “Celebrating the Season,” sharing carols with all the visitors to the park. Here are some highlights. We are looking forward to sharing more great music this Spring!

American Flag waving in the wind. Here is a recording of the Star Spangled Banner, recorded in November. We missed singing this year at the Fireflies games.
