Halifax Choral Society Patrons

 

For more than two centuries, Halifax Choral Society has presented choral music to the highest possible standards. 

Founded in 1817, the choir continues to perform major choral works while supporting new music and community projects. As a volunteer-led charity run by trustees and a Board of Directors, HCS relies on more than ticket sales to fund its activities.  The costs of concerts - including rehearsal venues, music hire, professional musicians, and administration - continue to rise.

Can you help ensure Halifax Choral Society continues to thrive for the next 200 years?
