Improving the human experience through musical excellence. Singing together since 2009
The Columbus Choral Society of Columbus. Mississippi, was founded in 2009 with the mission to bring quality choral music to the local area. Now under the direction of Creighton Holder, the CCS offers free public concerts twice a year, in addition to making appearances at area churches, festivals, and civic group meetings.
In its short history, accomplishments of note include performing John Purifoy’s New York City premiere of “Chronicles of Blue and Gray” both at Carnegie Hall in 2014 and again in Columbus, MS the spring of 2015.
The CCS has performed under the direction of world-renowned composer and conductor, Mack Wilberg, and enjoyed singing in the mass choir for the world premiere of composer Benjamin Harlan’s “Seven Last Words of Christ.” The choir continues to collaborate with local church, school, and community choirs and plans to tour in the near future.
CCS continues to outreach to the youth in the area by accepting students age 15+ and not requiring dues or music fees of them. It is important to us that students realize that singing in a choir is a lifelong enjoyment, not just during the high school and college days. Likewise, we always welcome children and youth to our concerts to give them early exposure to choral music and the glory of human voices singing together.
