About the Williams Chorale

Photography of the Williams Chorale

The Williams Chorale was established in the spring of 1993. We are a nonprofit organization whose mission includes a twofold purpose:

  1. To provide the Attleboro, MA area with the opportunity to experience quality choral productions
  2. To offer Attleboro, MA area residents the opportunity to sing in a quality choral organization.

Members of The Williams Chorale are from the greater Attleboro, MA area, however, this is not a requirement for membership. Audition for membership is open to all who share a love for music and singing. Auditions are held twice during the year: September and January. The Chorale is a nonprofessional group with professional standards. We look for individuals who are willing to commit to the goal of performing the best choral presentation possible. We strive for the growth of the organization as well as our individual members.

The Chorale schedules two concerts each year: a Christmas Concert and a Spring Concert. Performances include works from the classical to spiritual to popular standards. Our concerts are recorded live and are available for purchase. The chorale is also available for performances at special events by contacting our director, Peter J. Williams.

Our season runs from September to May/June for rehearsals. Exceptions are made for special performances.

The Chorale is also a social group. Events are scheduled each year for fellowship and fund raising:

…are a few of the occasions to get together and relax.

The Williams Chorale relies heavily on the support of its members, families, friends, patrons of the arts, area businesses and grants to carry out our mission to produce choral presentations of the highest caliber.

In 2001, The Williams Chorale Bacardi Fallon Performing Arts Scholarship Competition was established, with the first scholarships awarded in the spring of 2002. The purpose is to help area high school juniors or seniors in the pursuit of a musical education. The scholarship is competitive. Finalists are chosen to compete by the audition committee based on taped selections submitted with the application. The 12-14 finalists compete for a total of $10,000 in cash prizes.
