Ames Choral SocietyThe Ames Choral Society encourages participation in fine choral music. Since 1964 men and women from Ames and the surrounding area have been creating a community of spirit and joy, singing diverse, high quality secular and sacred choral literature: folk songs, spirituals, musical theater selections, and larger works. In recent years, we have performed Haydn's The Seasons, Handel's Messiah, When Icicles Hang by John Rutter, Vivaldi's Magnificat, Cantata 140 (Wachet auf) by Bach, Hanukkah songs, and music by Iowans and/or about Iowa.

The Ames Choral Society presents at least two formal concerts each year, plus a cabaret-style variety show and a "sing-along" Messiah. We participate in community events, such as Art in the Park and Artburst. During the 2000-2001 season we sponsored performances of Pirates of Penzance with ACTORS.

The Ames Choral Society is a non-audition group which meets for rehearsal Monday evenings from late August to early May. New members are welcomed into the group at the beginning of the Fall and Spring seasons.
