CCS sing-ins serve many purposes: they give singers an opportunity either to sight-read (or revisit) a major work, they give non-singers a chance to hear a free, âon-the-spotâ performance while gaining an appreciation for choral rehearsal techniques, and they allow participants to become acquainted with the choral society, its director, and its activities.
For choral singers, it gives a âmusic fixâ during the summer when the chorus is not rehearsing.
Eric Dale Knapp is noted for his dynamism, fresh interpretations of musical repertoire and charismatic leadership of instrumentalists and singers alike. He is in his sixth year as artistic director and conductor of CCS.
Founded in 1980, Connecticut Choral Society is committed to providing a music resource for Connecticut, encouraging the singing and performance of choral music of high artistic quality while stimulating greater appreciation for, and enjoyment of, choral music. The group performs locally several times each year and has appeared at Carnegie Hall, toured internationally, and performed on network television.
CCS is supported in part by funding from the CT Commission on Culture and Tourism and also from the Connecticut Community Foundation, as well as by contributions, grants, and underwriting from loyal supporters, businesses, and financial institutions in the region.
