The Hickory Choral Society raised its collective voice for the first time in 1978, touching music lovers in the Catawba Valley with the spirit of song. Today, some 110 singers blend their voices in harmony, brought together by a common devotion to musical excellence. The work of the Hickory Choral Society is a testament to the belief that each person, regardless of station, should be allowed to share the divine, universal gift of music and its immeasurable rewards.
