Join TheChorus for a Concert, a Musical ... a Season

In ancient Greek theatre, TheChorus represented the voice of the people, many voices combined to tell a story by chanting/singing in rhythm or rounds, but representing the community’s thoughts, the voice of reason, or telling the audience what is really happening. Things have not changed that much over the years, for here we are, over a thousand years later, and TheChorus (Huntsville Community Chorus)—a group of 170 voices of a community made up of many races, religions, professions, and backgrounds—is communicating stories and messages to audiences via the finest in choral presentations and musical theatre productions in the North Alabama region.

TheChorus is Huntsville’s first performing arts organization and was established in 1946. Incorporated as the Huntsville Community Chorus Association (HCCA), it is a nonprofit, all-volunteer community organization. The backbone of HCCA is its symphonic chorus (TheChorus). The organization, however, has continued to develop various vocal ensembles, which, along with musical theatre, help to provide exceptional musical presentations for the community.

TheChorus (main large chorus) brings incredible energy, flexibility, and artistry to any performance, whether presenting great choral/symphonic masterpieces, a jazz classic, or a favorite pop or folk selection.

The Chamber Chorale is a new, highly select ensemble auditioned from the larger membership of TheChorus and involves some of Huntsville’s finest musicians. The HCC Chamber Chorale brings a new dimension of choral music-making to the city!

The Huntsville Community Children’s Chorus (HC3) is composed of two ensembles, HC3 and HC3jr. Both groups provide a rich and rewarding experience that educates young singers in correct vocal technique and encourages them to share a love of music and desire to excel with others.

If you enjoy Musical Theatre, HCCA’s talent pool extends into this realm as well. Each year they produce a fully staged Broadway musical and a melodrama dinner-theatre. The stage musicals are award-winning productions and are staffed with many of TheChorus singers. HCCA’s shows are the talk of the town!

Being a community chorus, TheChorus reaches out to help the community both locally and nationally. Some examples are concerts that help the Red Cross, Big Brother/Big Sisters of North Alabama, and the National Children’s Advocacy Center, providing not only a wonderful concert, but also an opportunity for the audience to contribute to these deserving organizations. The Huntsville Community Chorus also sponsors scholarships each year to reward achievement and excellence in vocal music for both a high-school senior and a post-high-school student.
