In the spring of 1984 the village of Rockville Centre on Long Island welcomed a new performing group, the Rockville Centre Choral Society. This group of adult voices from the village and the surrounding area has been delighting audiences with a mixed repertoire of light classics, Broadway musicals, seasonal gems and the music of the people ever since.

 Highlights of seasons past include a concert rendition of The Mikado by Gilbert & Sullivan; as well as the Chicester Psalms by Bernstein; the Gloria in D by Vivaldi and Handel’s Messiah. The chorus has participated in Christmas tree-lighting events; a 9/11 memorial; and the Rockville Centre inter-faith Thanksgiving service. In 2005 the chorus participated in a very successful tsunami relief concert, spear-headed by the then co-presidents of the choral society. The chorus also provides extensive community service, singing for nursing homes in the area as well as caroling at local hospitals during the Christmas season.

Our annual spring and winter concerts have been held in Rockville Centre at the Middle School, and more recently, at St. James United Methodist Church in Lynbrook and St. Marks Methodist Church in Rockville Centre. Past directors have included Paul LaMedica and Ken Blue; our current director is Jean Stevenson.              

     New members are accepted during the months of January and September.
