“Then the singing enveloped me. It was furry and resonant, coming from everyone's very heart. There was no sense of performance or judgment, only that the music was breath and food.”

The Gettysburg Choral Society Inc. is an auditioned regional chorus of volunteers. The chorus is open to all singers ages 18 and above who match the specific needs of the chorus and demonstrate vocal competence. 

Prior choral singing experience and the ability to read music are requirements.  We go at a fast pace and only rehearse a dozen times per semester.

We rehearse on Monday evenings from 7-9 pm at St. James Lutheran Church in Gettysburg.

Persons interested in joining the chorus may schedule a personal audition by texting or calling our director, John McKay, at (717) 476-1054 or by emailing him at zoemckay@aol.com
