The Concord Chorus at 75
Founded in 1945, the Concord Chorus performed its first concert in the spring of 1946 as a memorial to those lost in World War II. Reaching its 75th Anniversary in 2021, the Chorus found itself unable to perform to live audiences because of the devastating COVID pandemic. Because everyone was facing isolation and loss, the Concord Chorus produced this video to tell its story by connecting audiences to its deep roots in community, regional, and national life and history, to showcase its mission to offer high-quality choral masterworks from diverse periods, and, most importantly, to create joy from adversity by sharing the unifying power of beautiful music with everyone.
