Pilgrim Festival Chorus

Pilgrim Festival Chorus is a premier, welcoming community chorus, comprised of 90 experienced vocalists from over 20 Plymouth County communities, dedicated to presenting diverse choral works that educate, enrich, and engage both its members and its audiences. Performances range from major works of the choral repertoire including Mozart’s Requiem, Handel’s Israel in Egypt, Brahms’s Ein Deutsches Requiem, and Orff’s Carmina Burana, to compositions by prominent 20th century composers such as Bernstein, Britten, and Kodály, as well as living composers Corigliano, Forrest, Hagenberg, Jenkins, Rutter, and the late Whitbourn.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary beginning fall 2024, PFC is under the artistic direction of William B. Richter and Elizabeth Chapman Reilly. A typical season begins with a festive holiday concert in early December. In mid-December, PFC hosts an annual Messiah Sing where the audience is invited to become the chorus in one of the most famous choral pieces ever written. The spring concert often features a larger work with orchestra and soloists. In June, Pilgrim Festival Singers, a division of PFC, performs concerts with repertoire drawn from Broadway and American traditions.

New members are invited to join in September for our winter concert, in January for our spring concert, and in May for our summer concert after attending an open rehearsal and completing a Vocal Placement Session (VPS). Open rehearsal and Vocal Placement Session dates and times are listed on our website’s events calendar. For more information about joining PFC, contact us at membership@pilgrimfestivalchorus.org.

Tickets to concerts can be purchased from a PFC member, on our website, or at the performance venue.
