TOGETHER IN SONG

Est. 1978

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.

The Latest

Years of Weaving a Musical Masterpiece.

Since 1978, the Hickory Choral Society has excited, enthused, and entertained its audiences with rich, wonderful, and powerful choral music. We believe that our forty seventh anniversary season is going to be our best season yet!

The Hickory Choral Society builds its foundation around members who come together each Monday night to make the most inspiring choral sound in this area. The Society also relies on contributing members, and you, to underwrite its performances that feature premier works by new and exciting choral composers.

The tradition of excellence in choral music continues to thrive in our region with your support of the J. Don Coleman Education Fund. This fund provides grants which assist local public school music programs. In addition, the choral music of HCS is collected in the I.G. Hamlin and Paulette Lael Music Library. This library lends quality choral music to neighboring schools, colleges, and churches.

We invite you to support the Hickory Choral Society through attendance at our concerts and through your generous contributions. Click on "Donate" at the top of the page to give to the J. Don Coleman Education Fund, one of our designated Endowment Funds, or to support General Operations. Go to "Membership" to become a seasonal contributor with varied benefits depending on the selected level.
