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.

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!

Fall Newsletter 2019

Dear Friends:

Thank you for an amazing 2018-2019 season!  We began with a glorious performance of the Brahms Requiem, which was well-received by an appreciative audience at the Basilica of St. Peter.  Our concert at Main Street United Methodist in the spring generated much excitement, as the Choral Society and Chamber Orchestra presented a stirring performance of Dan Forrest’s Jubilate Deo.  We were able to reprise that performance as part of the Piccolo Spoleto festival in Charleston in June.

As we look to our new season, many exciting events are in store. [Read more…] about Fall Newsletter 2019
