The Worcester Chorus

The Worcester Chorus is under the sponsorship of Music Worcester, Inc., and has the unique distinction of being one of the most outstanding ongoing choral groups in the United States, having been founded in 1858 to sing in the first annual Worcester Music Festival in the newly built Mechanics Hall. The 120-member chorus includes singers from Worcester County, northern Connecticut and the Boston area. Its repertoire includes not only the Western world's finest choral masterpieces, but also contemporary literature and arrangements of American folk songs and classics from the musical theater, as well as commissioned works. Each year the chorus performs with orchestra and soloists in Mechanics Hall as part of The Worcester Music Festival, including an annual performance of Handel's Messiah, a Spring Choral Concert, and in guest appearances throughout the Northeast and overseas.

The Worcester Chorus is a major community chorus that includes both amateur singers and professional musicians. It endeavors to foster the choral arts and to enhance the cultural life of Worcester and the surrounding area through the highest level of musicianship and artistry, resulting in enriching and emotional experiences for audience and singer alike.
