Choral Society of Middle Georgia

Originally founded as the Macon Civic Chorale, the Choral Society has provided inspiring choral concerts since 1975. With three major concerts each year, the choir explores a wide range of choral styles but is dedicated to performing choral and orchestral works. The Choral Society performs Handel’s Messiah every year at St. Joseph Catholic Church. Dean Gary G. Gerber is the conductor and artistic director. For more information, click here.
