Join GNBCS for a magical start to the holidays! Our holiday concert will explore how composers of different eras, religions, and backgrounds use music to celebrate the holiday season.

GNBCS is a non-audition SATB choir under the direction of Raymond Buttero. This year’s holiday concert at the beautiful Grace Episcopal Church will include selections ranging from the Renaissance to the contemporary, original works celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas, and timeless holiday favorites.

The Greater New Bedford Choral Society has been bringing classical choral music to listeners in southeastern Massachusetts since its founding in 1964. Everyone is welcome to sing with us–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.
