The Greenville Chamber Singers (GCS), an auditioned women's ensemble formed in 1996, share an exuberant love for choral music and a strong commitment to ongoing growth as performers. We perform a wide variety of music including sacred, Broadway, gospel, and Gershwin!
We are privileged to have had two pieces commissioned for us. The first was by composer Carolyn Hamlin - "A Merry Heart" with text adapted from Proverbs 17:22.
The second was by Dr. Anthony Bernarducci of Clemson University – ‘She” with text based on a poem by Langston Hughes.
Members' previous experiences include high school and college choruses, church choirs, and other community musical groups. The Greenville Chamber Singers is a 501 (c)(3) organization and is a musically versatile ensemble that focuses on community service.
