Since 1957, the
Delaware Choral Society has brought the music of great composers to
Dover and its surrounding communities.
The Delaware Choral Society's performance of Bach's Christmas
Oratorio was a resounding success. The lovely new Wyoming
United Methodist Church was the perfect venue, and the excellent instrumentalists, the
accomplished soloists, our wonderful conductor, and, of course our own
enthusiastic efforts contributed to a genuinely magnificent concert.
The members proved themselves up to the challenge of learning and
singing an extended piece of music in German, the original language, and
showed once again their capacity to grow and develop with each new
musical effort. We thank everyone involved for making this concert
possible. Click

We'd also like to invite you to share memories at a
Delaware Choral Society History Blog hosted by Susan Vowels, a past
president of the Delaware Choral Society. She is in the planning
stages of writing a book about the first fifty years of this Diamond
State Gem - if you'd like to contribute, please go to
