Welcome!
The Hickory Choral Society first lifted its collective voice in 1978, bringing the joy of choral music to audiences throughout the Catawba Valley. Today, more than 100 singers come together with a shared dedication to artistic excellence and a deep belief in music’s ability to inspire and bring people closer — across backgrounds, generations, and communities. Through its performances and outreach, the Hickory Choral Society continues to enrich lives, nurture music education, and foster a sense of belonging through the enduring power of song. We invite singers to audition, audiences to enjoy our performances, and supporters to help sustain our work.


We believe in the power of the human voice raised in song.
