The Chorus

We are a non-auditioned chorus with a mission to provide those who love to sing with the opportunity to learn, perform, and share a variety of exceptional music under professional directorship. The group includes 50+ members from Mercer and surrounding counties, and has served over the decades as a musical home to more than 900 singers.
 

Our season comprises three annual concerts: a Holiday concert in December, a Spring concert in May, and a special multi-group Spring into Song performance which we coordinate for the community. Our repertoire includes works of major composers, spanning all musical genres, as well as new works and arrangements. We rehearse weekly in the Pennington area during the fall and spring seasons, and welcome new members at the beginning of each season. 

​

The chorus has participated in various additional concerts, including several performances at Carnegie Hall with the 250-voice Masterwork Festival Chorus, and a performance at Alice Tully Hall. Several of us performed Mozart’s Coronation Mass in Salzburg as part of a Music Festival celebrating Mozart. 

​

Our commitment to community service continues to evolve. Established in 1973, the Hopewell Valley Chorus Scholarship—now $1,000—is awarded annually to a musically gifted, graduating high school senior who lives in the Hopewell Valley and plans to continue to be musically active, lifelong. Since 2000, we have hosted Spring into Song. At this annual, multi-group, free concert, we are joined by a variety of local singing groups to perform in support and celebration of the Trenton Children’s Chorus (TCC). Through contributions, Spring into Song has raised more than $70,000, sending more than 70 happy and grateful TCC singers to top summer music programs.
