Based in Greensboro, NC

The Choral Society of Greensboro was organized in 1983 by Barry Auman, Richard Cox, Sam Doyle, Eleanor Nesbit and others in the Greensboro musical community. David Pegg was the first director, and Bill Carroll led the Choral Society from 1984 through the 1998/1999 season. Sam Doyle and Carol Burnett led the 1999/2000 season. Bill Young was the director for the 2000/2001 through the 2006/2007 seasons. Bruce Kiesling became the Musical Director in 2007.The organization is sponsored by the City Arts Division of the Greensboro Parks and Recreation Department and was formed to provide an opportunity for volunteer singers to perform masterworks for chorus and orchestra. In recent years, the Choral Society has included in its repertoire a wide variety of choral literature ranging from the REQUIEM settings of Verdi, Mozart and Berlioz to a Black History Month Concert and an All Gershwin Evening. Other performances include Carl Orff's Carmina Burana, Haydn's Mass in Time of War, Bruckner's Te Deum, Beethoven's Symphony # 9 and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms.

With more than 180 volunteer singers, the chorus is open without audition to anyone in the community. Two to three concerts are scheduled during the regular season along with additional performances at civic gatherings.
