GNBCS is celebrating our 60th anniversary with a concert featuring Haydn’s Te Deum, Handel’s Coronation Anthem No. 4, a selection of show tunes, and an original work by Raymond Buttero.

The Greater New Bedford Choral Society has been bringing classical choral music to listeners in southeastern Massachusetts since its founding in 1964. We are a non-audition SATB chorus under the direction of Raymond Buttero. Everyone is welcome–no experience is necessary! Our members come from surrounding communities including Westport, Dartmouth, Acushnet, Lakeville, New Bedford, and Fairhaven.

We present one winter concert in either December or January and another in the spring. Our concerts typically include one major choral work plus a selection of shorter pieces chosen for the season of the year and are performed in area churches. We have combined with the New Bedford Symphony, the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Chorus, and other area choral societies to perform larger works.

This program is supported in part by grants from the Dartmouth Cultural Council, the Freetown Cultural Council, and the Westport Cultural Council, local agencies supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
