The Jefferson Choral Society (JCS) is the oldest and largest volunteer adult choir in Central Virginia, providing the greater Lynchburg area with a variety of performances including choral masterworks, as well as Broadway show tunes, folk songs, popular music, gospel music, and music from nations around the world.
Membership in the choir requires an audition with the Music Director, attendance at weekly Monday evening rehearsals, and paying annual membership dues. The JCS typically performs three major concerts each year - at Christmastime, in the mid-winter, and in the spring - as well as an annual benefit concert at the National D-Day Memorial.
Come Join Us
Membership in the Jefferson Choral Society is open to anyone high school age and up with experience in choral music.
Our 2022-2023 season runs through Memorial Day weekend of May 2023. Auditions for the remainder of the season are scheduled by attending an open rehearsal on December 5 for our February 26 Best of Broadway concert or on February 27 for our April 30 Jesus, Son of Our Father concert.
Rehearsals are held at Timberlake United Methodist Church in Lynchburg on Monday evenings from 7:00 until 9:00 pm in the sanctuary. Interested individuals a should park in one of the two front parking lots and use Entrance 1 to enter the church.
Please email vicepresident@jeffersonchoralsociety.org if you plan to attend, so the music librarian will have a guest packet of music available for you.
