Charleston Men’s Chorus was founded in 1990 when Alfred Pinckney convinced some fellow Rotarians and their friends there was a place in the Lowcountry arts community for the distinctive harmonies of a male chorus. Now an independent nonprofit organization, the chorus is best known for its annual Christmas and Memorial Day concert at St. Philip’s Church.
Also, since 2000 the Charleston Men’s Chorus Spring Concert at the Sottile Theatre has served as a fundraiser for music scholarships at local colleges. The goal is to promote choral music awareness in the Lowcountry — both for amateurs and those preparing for a musical profession. Originally there was a four year, vocal performance music scholarship at the College of Charleston. In 2004, the program was increased to two scholarships. And, in May of 2005, the chorus announced two additional scholarships at Charleston Southern University’s Horton School of Music. The chorus appreciates the support of our audiences and supporters that make these scholarships possible.
