Knoxville Choral Society

Since 1951, the Knoxville Choral Society has been honored to share a wide range of music with our community. Dedicated to maintaining choral excellence, this group of 120+ auditioned musicians performs major choral and orchestral works as well as additional varied styles of choral literature. 

Professional orchestras of the finest available players from the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra are secured to perform for KCS concerts. KCS is governed by a board of directors elected by the members of the society. The active members of the Knoxville Choral Society represents a wide variety of occupations, including many professional musicians serving in area schools, colleges, and churches. Since 1976, entrance into the group has been solely through audition. Soloists are selected from the performing chorus, with occasional guest soloists appearing as well. A small group from the society, the Knoxville Chamber Chorale, is selected by audition to perform at KCS concerts and by invitation in the Knoxville area.

All singers contribute with annual membership dues. Additional sources of income for this nonprofit organization include grants, ticket sales, special projects and support from local businesses, the professional community, and benevolent individuals. We rely on the financial support of many individuals and business firms to maintain the Knoxville Choral Society.

KCS’s regular concert season normally includes a major choral and orchestral work and additional concerts of varied styles of choral literature for a variety of events. KCS often performs with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra as well as for convention programs and for special community events.
