Eastern Shore Choral Society

The Eastern Shore Choral Society has been a part of Baldwin County for 30 years. Since 1992, the ESCS has been committed to bringing amazing choral music to the Eastern Shore. The Choral Society is a non-auditioned community chorus comprised of members who love to sing, high school age to the young at heart, with a wide variety of musical skills. The only requirements to be part of the ESCS family is the ability to match pitch, a commitment to attend rehearsals, and have an absolute love of singing. In 2011, the ESCS was composed of 45 singers. In just 8 years, we’ve grown to over 100. Here at the ESCS, we strive every concert season to bring our audiences an entertaining and enriching choral program of the highest quality and amazing variety. In recent years, we have performed such large classical works as Haydn’s Nelson Mass, Vaughan Williams’ Serenade to Music, Rutter’s Requiem, Vivaldi’s Gloria, and Handel’s Messiah, along with lighter programs that include spirituals, Patriotic and American Folk numbers, and Sacred Harp music. Past seasons have included standard greats of choral literature by Morten Lauridson, Rachmaninoff, Aaron Copland, Emma Lou Diemer, Dan Forrest, popular Broadway hits and the music of the early 1900s. The music we present each season provides something for everyone.
