The South Coast Community Chorale is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to spreading the joy of choral music to the greater South Coast community. SCCC began as a dream shared by a group of seven friends in 1997 and has grown to more than 60 members.
SCCC performs two annual concert programs, one in December and one in May, which highlight classical as well as contemporary music. We also have the pleasure of performing frequently with the Fall River Symphony Orchestra. Members of our group perform Handel’s Messiah each year with the New Bedford Symphony Orchestra.
