2017-2018 Season

From Our Director

Dear Friends:

Welcome to the 2017-2018 season of the Columbia Choral Society!

We had an amazing season last year! In October, we performed with the SC Philharmonic and then presented our own fall concert which featured the music of Brahms and Beethoven.  Our spring concert, a collaboration with singers and musicians from Ridge View and Richland Northeast High Schools, received high praise from our audience. The young soloists and our Guthrie Darr scholarship winner, Michael N’twa, were truly inspiring examples of the next generation of singers. We concluded the season with a Piccolo Spoleto Festival performance of Jasmine Rhythms, an original piece written by Dick Goodwin, with text by Camden poet, Paddy Bell.  Performed with Dick Goodwin’s Big Band to a packed house, this concert was a great success and wonderful way to end the season.

This year, we are looking forward to two concerts. In the fall, we will participate in another choral collaboration with singers from Chapin and Richland Northeast High Schools. Inspired by the solar eclipse, the theme of this concert is Darkness and Light.  The program will feature works by twentieth century composers such as Morten Lauridsen, David Childs, Eric Whitacre, and Moses Hogan.
