About Us:
The mission of Heart of the Triad Choral Society is to embrace and encourage a welcoming environment built on diverse programming, networking, and outreach through the power of choral performances.
Heart of the Triad Choral Society (HTCS) began in Kernersville in 2016 by a small group of people who wanted to establish an artistic outlet for singers in the area. Since then, our organization has grown to include 75+ choir members who range in age from 15 to 89 and who travel from communities in and around the Piedmont Triad area to participate in the choir.
HTCS performs two concerts each season, one in December and one in late April or early May. Concerts are frequently performed with a full orchestra that includes hired professional players and music students from the Triad area. Concerts are often performed in collaboration with choirs from area elementary schools and high schools.
HTCS rehearses one night a week from 7-9 PM at Main Street United Methodist Church, 306 S. Main St., Kernersville, NC. All who love to sing are welcome to join the organization. No previous musical knowledge is necessary and no auditions are required to join the group. HTCS attracts a wide array of singers - from those who have a degree in music to those who have never performed in a choir.
The choir has performed at the Biltmore House and at the Paul Ciener Gardens in Kernersville. The choir performs frequently at sporting events and community events throughout the Triad. In the Spring of 2021, several HTCS singers performed with High Point University at St. Stephens Cathedral in Vienna. In November, 2022, the choir enjoyed a workshop with composer, Z. Randall Stroope. Most recently, HTCS performed at Duke Chapel on the campus of Duke University for the North Carolina Chapter of the American Choral Directors Association,
HTCS is a 501(c)(3) governed by a strong board of directors who believe in the mission of the choir and support the vision of the artistic director. Since the inception of HTCS in the Fall of 2016, the organization has been funded through the generosity of donors, grant awards, and membership contributions. The board is committed to developing a strong community within the choir and to providing quality artistic experiences for those who live in the Triad. For this reason, all concerts are free and open to the public.
