History of the Mohawk Valley Choral Society

    A not for profit, self-financied singing group, the Mohawk Valley Choral Society was founded in 1982 by Conductor/Composer Robert Christensen.  Its goal was and continues to be to provide area professional and amateur singers with an opportunity to perform major choral works with orchestra.  

    Its founding conductor was Mr. Christensen.  Since 1988, Randy Davis has been the primary conductor.  Assistant conductors have been John Krause and Mark Bunce.

    As a non-profit, non-audition group, the Choral Society is open to anyone with a love of singing and a willingness to be committed to a weekly rehearsal schedule.

    The Choral Society has sung in cities, towns and villages throughout the Mohawk Valley as well as at Hendricks Chapel on the campus of Syracuse University, at Hamilton College and the Episcopal Cathedral in Albany. 

    In recent years, the Choral Society has worked in conjunction with Herkimer County Community College to enable its students to participate with the Choral Society and earn college credit.

    The Choral Society always welcomes new members.  Anyone interested in joining the Choral Society might contact any member of the chorus or use the e-mail address to get more information on upcoming rehearsals and concerts.
