NORTH KINGSTOWN COMMUNITY CHORUS
The North Kingstown Community Chorus, Inc. is a non-profit show chorus made up of about 100 dedicated and enthusiastic singers. We perform ballads, popular tunes, musical comedy, seasonal favorites, patriotic tunes and more! Our audiences have come to expect a lively atmosphere as the standard at our concerts! We also offer a North Kingstown Community Youth Chorus for our younger singers.
The North Kingstown Community Chorus offers two annual concert weekends in addition to many other performances throught the year. Our spring concert is in early May and the winter concert in early December. Our seasonal concert weekends include performances on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon. Often, the adult and youth choruses perform several numbers together.
One of our concert goals is to have fun!! When we have fun it spreads out to the entire audience helping to create a truly enjoyable experience for everyone in the room. If you love singing choral music, we hope you will consider joining us.
The chorus is fully supported financially by membership fees, music fees, ticket fees and funds raised by selling advertising space in the concert program. We raise enough money to award an annual music scholarship gift to a high school student planning to study music in college. We also support the North Kingstown School music departments with donations for music materials and music related activities.

VIRTUAL CHORUS HIGHLIGHTS
For the Winter 2020-Spring 2021 seasons, the North Kingstown Community Chorus became a virtual chorus! We rehearsed online and created virtual chorus performances of videos submitted by members.
The North Kingstown Community Chorus is proud to present the world premiere of How Can I Keep From Singing by Tom Kendzia. This song was commissioned by the chorus in 2020 in honor of the 35th anniversary of the chorus. The chorus rehearsed and recorded virtually, and the virtual chorus video was produced by our Director, Heather Skidds.

The North Kingstown Youth Chorus presents its virtual chorus production of Peace Like a River on Facebook and on our YouTube channel. This virtual chorus recording of the traditional folk song, arranged and directed by Heather Skidds, is a beautiful reminder of the peace, love and joy in our hearts and in our world seen through the eyes of children singing in harmony. Some members also perform sign language with the song.
More virtual chorus performance videos can be found on our Concerts page.
