2024-2025 CONCERTS

Canterbury Choral Society’s mission since its founding in 1952 has been to perform the finest music, with appropriate orchestral accompaniment, in a sacred space. That space, our home since our founding, has been Church of the Heavenly Rest. In addition to the chorus, which numbers between 75 and 100 singers, every performance includes an orchestra and soloists. You can view our concert history here.

Next in this year’s season is a Sing-along of selections from Handel’s Messiah (in collaboration with the Choir of Church of the Heavenly Rest), on Thursday, December 5, 2024, at 7pm — the audience is encouraged to participate. The season concludes with Johann Sebastian Bach’s St. John Passion on Sunday, April 27, 2025, at 4pm.
