The Cincinnati Choral Society was founded in 1974. Over the past 33 years, the CCS has presented concerts in various churches, concert halls, and outside venues for such organizations as the Cincinnati Women's Club, Fine Arts Weekend Sampler and Procter and Gamble, among many others. The Society was honored to perform the Greater Cincinnati Bicentennial commemorative commissioned piece On the Banks. Dr. Douglas K. Belland, our current conductor, assumed the position of Artistic Director in 1995.

The Cincinnati Choral Society is currently scheduling auditions. Under the baton of Dr. Douglas Belland the CCS is dedicated to preserving the great choral heritage of Cincinnati, providing dedicated singers an opportunity to perform wonderful choral works at a high caliber level with orchestral accompaniment.

Our 2007-2008 season opens with Mahler's Symphony Number 2 with the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra in September. In December we will sing our favorite choruses from the Messiah with the Blue Ash Symphony as well as our Christmas concert, Christmas Around the World, with St. Margaret of York adult and children choirs.

In March we will present Haydn's Mass in Time of War and Handel's Coronation Anthem with the CCS Chamber Orchestra. And in May, with the Blue Ash Symphony Orchestra, we will perform Renee Clausen's Memorial. It will be a varied and exciting year.
