MID-HUDSON WOMEN'S CHORUS
About the Chorus
The Mid-Hudson Women's Chorus is based in the Hudson Valley and has been singing together for almost 50 years. The group traditionally performs two seasonal concerts — one in early winter and one in the spring. Our group also performs at area adult residences, seasonal events, and other community venues.
Rehearsals and most concerts take place at the St. James United Methodist Church, which is located at 35 Pearl Street in Kingston, NY (on the northwest corner of Pearl and Fair Streets).
Proceeds from ticket sales and advertisers go not only towards the group's expenses, but also to providing an annual scholarship to a local high school graduate who will be pursuing a degree in music.
