Community Chorus

Based in Greenville, SC

The Greenville Chorale was organized in 1961 as the "Rotary Civic Chorale" by the Rotary Club of Greenville. From that initial group of forty-five voices, the Chorale has grown to include a roster of over 170 of the most talented voices drawn from across the Upstate, providing our region and its audiences with an accomplished symphonic chorus. Today, as an independent not-for-profit organization, the Greenville Chorale pursues its mission to promote and celebrate the art of choral music. It performs concerts of the great choral masterworks at the highest level of excellence; supports the creative and artistic lives of singers at all stages of their musical development; and reaches into the community to bring the power of live performance to as many people as possible.

Seven years after its founding by Rotary, in 1968, the "Greenville Civic Chorale Association" was chartered as an independent organization, and in 1987, the official title was changed to the Greenville Chorale. Auditions are held annually, but many singers have remained with the organization for decades, sharing their love of choral music by committing hundreds of hours of rehearsal and performance time each year.

Founded - 1961.
