Join us at 7 PM on Sunday May 31 at Circular Congregational Church. This beautiful, historic church in downtown Charleston has a glorious acoustic. The most affordable place to park will be the public garage at 90 Cumberland Street, followed by the bank parking lot adjacent to the church at 158 Meeting Street. The concert will last less than an hour, leaving you plenty of time to continue your evening of cultural immersion in our lovely city.
The Charleston Symphony Chorus is a dedicated group of auditioned, volunteer singers drawn from the greater Charleston (SC) area. As an affiliate of the Charleston Symphony Orchestra, the Chorus has performed in masterworks, pops, and chamber concerts for the City of Charleston for almost 50 years. The Chorus was founded in 1978 by Miss Emily Remington – originally as the Charleston Singers Guild. Miss Emily led the chorus for about 20 years, followed by 25 years under the baton of Rob Taylor, who retired in 2024. The chorus is now led by Nicholas Quardokus, who is also the Canon Organist and Director of Music at Grace Church Cathedral.
We thank these organizations for their support of the chorus and this concert:
