The Bennington County Choral Society is a mixed adult chorus of voices drawn from southern Vermont and nearby New York and Massachusetts communities. We aim to foster an environment in which chorus members coalesce as a group and develop as an ensemble. Because our singers learn about choral singing from fellow members as well as our musical director, we each grow musically through weekly rehearsals and performances that are a source of pride and pleasure. While we are committed to open membership and do not require auditions, we expect singers to carry a tune, match a pitch, and articulate texts.  If after 6-7 weeks of rehearsal, it becomes clear that you can not meet these expectations, the Artistic Director may ask to meet with you.

​

Members are expected to bring a love of singing and are asked to pay dues of $45 per semester (fall or spring) or $75 per season (full year). Additionally, most seasons may require music fees. We always do our best to keep membership as affordable as possible. If the cost of membership or music is prohibitive to you, please talk with a board member.
