About
the Newburyport Choral Society
The Newburyport
Choral Society is an educational, non-profit organization dedicated
to excellence in performance and to bringing outstanding choral
music to the North Shore of Boston.
In two concert
series each year, NCS presents choral masterpieces accompanied by
well-known soloists and full, professional orchestras. The Society
performs music from the Renaissance to the 21st century including
commissioning world premiere works.
Formally
established in 1934, Newburyport Choral Society continues a
choral tradition dating back to 1848 when the first community chorus
was formed in Newburyport. It is now the largest volunteer arts
organization on the North Shore. NCS attracts an average of 200
volunteer members each year from nearly 40 communities in eastern
Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire, and members range
in age from teens to 90s.
