Since 1953, the Hampshire Choral Society has brought together community members for the joy of making beautiful music together.  Members are those who enjoy singing, can sing in tune, and are willing to share our commitment to rehearsing and performing fine choral music. Our members come from all over Western Massachusetts and Connecticut with a wide variety of musical backgrounds.  We invite singers with prior choral experience to join us and are always eager to welcome singers in every voice part!

As a 501(c)3 non-profit, community organization, the Hampshire Choral Society thrives on the spirit of cooperation and volunteerism. A volunteer Board of Directors manages the organization in collaboration with our Musical Director.

We perform a fall and late spring concert annually.  Concerts bring the choir together with professional musicians and typically feature soloists and orchestra.

Rehearsals for our Spring concert are well under way. We welcome Paige Graham as our Interim Director, and she will lead us in a program featuring the Solemn Vespers by Mozart, K. 339.
