Cincinnati Choral Society Information

Since 1974, the Cincinnati Choral Society has offered quality musical experiences not only to audiences in and beyond Cincinnati, but also to talented nonprofessional singers seeking a satisfying choral ensemble experience. The CCS repertoire encompasses a wide range of musical styles, both accompanied and a cappella, from traditional masterworks to modern classics. The 40-voice choir has performed with a number of orchestras and chamber ensembles, including the Cincinnati Pops, the Kentucky Symphony and the Blue Ash Montgomery Symphony. In addition to presenting concerts at its current home base at Mason United Methodist Church, the CCS has appeared at a variety of venues in the greater Cincinnati area, as well as at Carnegie Hall in New York City, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and All Hallows by the Tower in London. The group has performed with the New England Symphonic Ensemble under the baton of John Rutter, and has presented regional premieres of choral works by some noted contemporary composers, including Rene Clausen, Howard Helvey and Alice Parker. Dr. Douglas Belland has served as the Cincinnati Choral Society's artistic and musical director since 1995.
