The Colby-Kennebec Choral Society

Founded in the 1960s, CKCS is a four-part (SATB) community chorus that performs both classical and contemporary works. At present, it has four dozen members. Along with Colby’s student choral ensembles, CKCS currently prepares two programs per year: a concert of short works of diverse styles and eras but with a common theme in November and a choral masterwork with the Colby Symphony Orchestra and professional soloists in late April or early May. Last spring’s masterwork was Schubert’s Stabat Mater; next spring, it will be Beethoven’s monumental Symphony No. 9.
