Rehearsals help develop sight reading, build choral repertoire and performance techniques. Students perform in a concert at the end of each semester. Both students and community members belong to the Choral Society. The Choral Society is a club which was formed in 1977 to organize fund raisers, social affairs and travel arrangements for the NVC College Chorus. Registration is a nominal fee for non- credit participation.
Members enjoy all the privileges and activities but receive no grade for credit.
The NVC Chorale provides exciting programs that differ widely in content. Music is selected for its historic and artistic value, which enhances a student's understanding of and appreciation for the art of choral literature. Chorale's itinerary is to include concert tours in order to expose students to educational and culturally enlightening experiences. In May of 1989 the Chorale presented a series of concerts in Hungary and Austria. In May of 1991 the Chorale spent five days in the New Orleans, Louisiana, area and presented three concerts there.
