Community Chorus

Based in Plymouth, NH

On May 12, 1974 a group of 29 nervous singers gathered in the College Union Building at Plymouth State College in Plymouth, New Hampshire. An audience of 35 family members was present, curious to hear the result of six months of rehearsals. An hour later, as the last of the selections concluded, the enthusiasm of the performers and audience was tangible. The Pemigewasset Choral Society had been launched.

Known affectionately as "Pemi" by its members, the chorus had its genesis at a meeting of arts enthusiasts held in Plymouth a year earlier, in the spring of 1973. Meeting to discuss ways to enhance arts offerings in the region, two young women -- Katherine Hillier and Vivian Norwood -- went on to create the Choral Society, while others organized Plymouth Friends of the Arts.

Founded - 1974.
