The Harrisburg Choral Society is presenting it's winter concert, "Messiah and More" on Sunday, December 12 at 3:00PM. This concert is the first live concert by the Society since March 2020, when we suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This season we created a protocol for in-person rehearsals, and are ready to perform again.

The concert is at Colonial Park United Church of Christ, on Devonshire Road off of Colonial Park Road. Tickets are $20 general, $17 seniors, and $5 students. Tickets will be at the door, or online at Yapsody. We are asking all attendees to abide by church policy to be masked during the event.

If you cannot join us in person this concert, then join us on our livestream presented on our YouTube channel! The live stream will open at 2:45. There is a donations link in the stream page to show your support for our activities.

Due to the change in requirements of the Camp Hill School District in the use of facilities, the Choral Society Board and Director met to find a new location for rehearsals. The Society will now be rehearsing at Fishing Creek Salem United Methodist Church in Etters, PA. The Society thanks FCS UMC for their generosity. But with the new location comes a change in our rehearsal day. The Harrisburg Choral Society will be meeting on MONDAYS during the season for the foreseeable future while we are rehearsing at Fishing Creek. Our start time of 7:30PM is still in place.

Anyone interested in joining the Society may attend our first rehearsal on Monday, September 13th. The HCS is REQUIRING all members who participate in person to be fully vaccinated, and must wear a mask during the rehearsal period. The Society will have waiver and declaration forms at rehearsal, and you must bring proof of vaccination (CDC card or image/facsimile). We ask potential new members to attend and observe, and schedule an audition time with the music director.

The Choral Society will be reviewing our rehearsal situation as changes due to COVID-19 efforts require. Changes to rehearsal times or locations will be examined as needed and members will be informed of any changes.

Harrisburg Choral Society has updated requirements for participation in 2021-22

The Harrisburg Choral Society Board of Directors and Music Director have finalized a policy regarding COVID-19 safety and conditions for participation in rehearsals for the upcoming season. The Society will be requiring members to be fully vaccinated prior to the beginning of the season on September 7th, 2021. The HCS will be validating vaccination status and agreement to a liability waiver prior to participation for the season. The Society will also be asking all participants at rehearsals to wear masks while indoors. The Board and staff will be reviewing this masking requirement during the season and may change this policy if conditions allow it.

The board and staff believe these requirements will provide the highest possible safety during a riskier activity in this COVID-19 world. We are also understanding of circumstances that may impact participation, such as the safety of others in contact with members. Member safety is at the front of our decision making, and our policies, as well as additional measures such as live Zoom sessions of rehearsals allowing participation while distancing, will permit the Society to carry out a full season of music making and allow our members to return to our passion.
