We perform a wide variety of music including sacred, Broadway, gospel, and Gershwin! We are privileged to have a piece commissioned for us by composer Carolyn Hamlin - "A Merry Heart".

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.
