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. QCS has traveled and performed internationally in Austria, Canada, the Czech Republic, England, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Scotland, Switzerland, and Wales, with performances in Chartres Cathedral, All Hallows by the Tower (London), at the Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, in St. Mark’s Cathedral (Venice) and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Dublin.

QCS is now singing under the direction of Sarah Labrie. Prior to Ms. Labrie QCS was directed by Joshua Rohde from 2016-2020. Previous to Maestro Rohde, for 28 years, QCS grew under the direction of John Nichols and accompanist Gingy Grimes, growing to over 90 members. Singers are from all walks of life: business people, doctors, lawyers, teachers, homemakers, students, and retirees. Members live between Boston and Cape Cod and share the common love of singing together.

Messiah

December 2024

We celebrate a long-time tradition of singing with our friends at Eastern Nazarene College with an uplifting performance of Handel’s most beloved oratorio. A cherished tradition in many countries, Messiah tells the story of Christ’s birth, passion, resurrection, through sublime choruses, stirring arias, and majestic orchestration.
