SUMMARY:COME JOIN THE CHORUS!  Greater New Bedford Choral Society Open Rehearsals Begin September 9th\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Experience the joy of singing with GNBCS–everyone is welcome–no auditions necessary! Attend an open rehearsal to find out what it’s like to sing with us on Wednesday\, September 9\, 16\, or 23 at 6:30pm. \nGNBCS is a non-audition SATB choir under the direction of Brian Dean Sousa. Open rehearsals on September 9\, 16\, and 23 allow new members to experience singing with GNBCS and decide if they wish to continue. We rehearse Wednesday nights from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm at First Unitarian Church in New Bedford. \nOur holiday concert\, “Christmas Songs from Around the World\,” is planned for Sunday\, December 6th at 3:30 pm. Originally a pagan holiday\, Christmas was adopted by the Romans as the date of Christ’s birth in the 4th century and is now celebrated in more than 160 countries. The GNBCS concert will explore a variety of different musical styles and ideas\, and will include selections from 11 different countries in a multitude of languages! \nGNBCS has been bringing classical choral music to listeners in southeastern Massachusetts since its founding in 1964. We are a four-part chorus with members from surrounding communities including Westport\, Dartmouth\, Acushnet\, Lakeville\, New Bedford\, and Fairhaven. \nWe 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. \nVisit our website at https://www.gnbcs.org/ for more information and to register or follow us on Facebook.
