About the Warren County Community Singers
The Mission of The Warren County Community Singers (WCCS) is to enhance the lives of the people of Warren County and neighboring communities by presenting free concerts of choral music, and by offering people of all ages who love to sing the opportunity to perform in a non-auditioned chorus. We perform two concert weekends each year. Winterfest of Music is the first weekend in December and Springfest of Music is the first weekend in May.
Members need not reside in Warren County, and come from all walks of life. Members range in age from 15 to 90, share a love of music and enjoy choral performance. The WCCS adult organization was founded by Warren County in 1993 with 37 members, and has grown significantly since then. In 1998, WCCS incorporated and became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
Our Children’s Chorus includes children with unchanged voices, ages 7 to 14. Boys and girls are encouraged to join and participate in the performances. Young singers, dancers, performing arts students, and instrumentalists are also encouraged to join and perform.
Outreach Performances
In addition to our Winterfest and Springfest of Music, the WCCS performs at various events throughout the county, ranging from dedications, memorials and tree lightings. We have performed at Shippen Manor, "Heritage Day," the Heritage festival sponsored by the Warren County Human Relations Commission and Belvidere's Victorian Days.
