Community Chorus

Based in Rock Hill, SC

York County Choral Society was formed in the 1981-82 season by David Lowry and Shirley Fishburne with the purpose of having a choral group that performed choral masterworks with the composers' intended accompaniments. The group's founders expected about two dozen people to attend the organizational meeting and were overjoyed at the 140 who showed up! From the outset, the chorus numbered over 50 voices and it has continued to date with consistent strength. The first performance was Handel's Messiah, Parts II & III on April 4, 1982, in Winthrop's Byrnes Auditorium.

Founded - 1981.
