Since 2001 Great Rivers Choral Society (GRCS) has brought the joy of music to the Riverbend community. This group of people who enjoy singing came together with a goal of fostering music education and appreciation. It has continued through 25 years of singing, love, laughter, and a community of music loving people.
It is an adult choir (age 18+) of mixed voices who have fun bringing a diverse range of music to our community. The choir was recently invited to sing at Carnegie Hall in New York in June.
Twelve choir members traveled to New York to join other select choirs to perform Mozart’s Requiem Lacrimosa. In a time where so many choirs have disbanded and no longer sing together, GRCS provides a place where singers can join together to make a beautiful sound. Many friends come to hear the music, and the choir enjoys the community that music fosters.
The Great Rivers Choral Society meets weekly on Tuesday evenings in Godfrey for rehearsals and performs three weekend concerts locally each season, with mini performances as small group ensembles in smaller venues. The public is invited to come and sing. Or if singing is not for you but you enjoy listening, you can join as a sponsor.
You can find more information at https://grcssing.org/ or on Facebook Great Rivers Choral Society. You can also contact president Pat Stewart at 618-292-4742 or choral director Raynard Brown at 618-604-1319.
