Who We Are
The Quincy Choral Society is based in historic Quincy, Massachusetts. Founded in 1981, QCS has performed in the Boston area as well as at Carnegie Hall in NYC and the Kennedy Center in Washington, DC.

Previous to Maestro Rohde, for 28 years, QCS grew under the direction of John Nichols and accompanist Gingy Grimes, growing to over 90 members.

Members live between Boston and Cape Cod and share the common love of singing together.
