The Upstate’s Professional Choir

We are Chicora Voices, a professional choral ensemble based in Greenville, South Carolina. Our mission is to bring world class choral performances to our home in the Upstate and the surrounding region.

Great Music

Our concerts bring together professional singers and instrumentalists from our local community and around the country to perform ambitious programs of fine choral music.

Service

As a former children’s choir organization, we carry forward Chicora Voices’ educational legacy through outreach performances, as well the after-school arts education programs we administer.
