Community Chorus

Based in Atlanta, GA

The Atlanta University Center Community Chorus (AUCCC) was founded in 1966 to provide concert and commencement music for the Atlanta University Summer School. A notice from the late Dr. Wendell P. Whalum, the founding director of the Chorus, to a few experienced singers in the community brought an overwhelming response and they assembled each week for rehearsals.

During future summers, the group developed into one that included not only the graduates of the Atlanta University, but all the

undergraduate colleges in the Atlanta University Center as well as persons who had graduated from other institutions outside the Atlanta area. The initial number of twenty (20) singers has grown to as many as sixty (60), with an ongoing enrollment of fifty (50).
