The Nelson Choral Singers has been a beloved part of Nelson’s music community for many years. We are a large, non-audition choir that presents concerts twice a year—at Christmas and in the spring.

Our repertoire spans a wide variety of music, both secular and sacred, and we welcome anyone who loves to sing to join us.

We also enjoy collaborating with other choirs in the area, inviting them to share the stage in our concerts. These partnerships not only delight our audiences with diverse performances and styles but also provide opportunities and a platform for smaller choirs to showcase their repertoire.

Welcome to our Spring 2025 session!

We’re excited to invite you to join us and help spread the word about this season’s work: Little Jazz Mass by Bob Chilcott—an uplifting and celebratory piece!

Rehearsals will take place:

• Wednesdays, 7 PM to 9 PM
• Location: Nelson United Church (602 Silica Street).
  Please use the rear entrance—the door with the ramp leading up to it.
• Start Date: Wednesday, January 22th, 2025

• Register here (link to register)

We are a mixed SATB choir of approximately 60 voices.  Previous musical experience including the ability to read music would be helpful, but is not required. You will be guided through our program of music under the sure hand of director Kathleen Neudorf, and your fellow choristers.
