Since 1951, the Knoxville Choral Society has been honored to share a wide range of choral music with the community. Dedicated to choral performance excellence, the group consisting of over 120 auditioned musicians performs major choral and orchestral works, highlighting a variety of choral literature and styles.

During the 2017-2018 concert season, the Knoxville Choral Society presented a choral masterworks concert under the direction of former artistic director Dr. Eric Thorson. Additionally, the KCS performed Carmina Burana in collaboration with the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra and Aida with the Knoxville Opera.

The 2018-2019 season presents the Knoxville Choral Society under the leadership of a new artistic director, Dr. John Orr.

“The Knoxville Choral Society creates an opportunity for singers to participate in the highest caliber of choral concerts in our area,” says Dr. John Orr, Knoxville Choral Society Artistic Director. “We are looking for artistic, creative singers who love choral music of all kinds, and who want to connect with each other in the creative expression of the choral arts.”
