Hudson Valley Choral Society
The Hudson Valley Choral Society has been presenting quality classical music performances for over 30 years. We are an SATB chorus whose members include teachers, nurses, carpenters, farmers, artists, and people from many other backgrounds. What we have in common is a love of singing.

Our members read music, rehearse weekly, and study and practice the music at home between rehearsals. A brief bit of fundraising is asked of each member, usually just once a year. Members pay dues and purchase their music.
Rehearsals begin in September for the December concert.
