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.

Attracting more than 100 members each year, the Newburyport Choral Society is one of the largest volunteer arts organizations on the North Shore of Boston. Formally established in 1934, we continue a local choral tradition dating back to the first Newburyport chorus formed in 1848. The Society is very much a community. Singers come from nearly forty communities in eastern Massachusetts and southeastern New Hampshire and bring greatly diverse personal and musical backgrounds to their choral experience.
