Greenwich Choral Society Approaches Its Centennial (SHOW #39, March 11, 2020)






We extend our sincerest appreciation to the following for making the 11th of March 2020 broadcast of Greenwich, A Town For All Seasons possible: The Greenwich Choral Society; Catherine Ladnier and John Mickey Robinson; Sue Hill McClenachan (for Rightfully Hers); Kevin M.J. O'Connor of The Jeffrey Matthews Group, and listeners to the show on Radio 1490 WGCH Greenwich, Connecticut USA, FM105.5 in neighboring Stamford, Connecticut, and WGCH.com anywhere live streaming globally over the Internet


Drawing upon various traditional and contemporary choral works, a member-based choral society serving Fairfield and Westchester counties and the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area, and spreading joy through music since 1924, the Greenwich Choral Society has been dazzling audiences for close to a century. Indeed, Year 2024 marks the Society’s centennial. 

On today’s broadcast Host Jeffrey Bingham Mead welcomed Paul Mueller, Music Director and Conductor of the Greenwich Choral Society, and Patrick Taylor, Greenwich High School Choral Director. 

*We regret to inform you that the Beethoven 2020! concert scheduled by the Greenwich Choral Society for March 14 has been cancelled. The Superintendent of the Greenwich Public Schools made the decision to cancel all “external” events in the schools. The Greenwich Choral Society hopes that it can be re-schedule this spring at a later date. All ticket holders or potential attendees should contact the GCS website for updated info. Thank you!

There are many great things about Greenwich, Connecticut. We're blessed with a constellation of nonprofit organizations devoted to enriching and elevating the arts. 


The Greenwich Choral Society is one of those bright lights presenting innovative musical programs for almost one hundred years through high calibre performances such as Beethoven 2020! and others. The Society relies on donations to promote quality music in the community. Visit gcs-ct.org and support its work, or call 203.622.5136. 

Rightfully Hers is a celebration of the centennial of the passage of the 19th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution granting women the right to vote. You'll hear about the first woman to cast a vote in Greenwich, and about the first woman volunteer firefighter in town history. 


An Unfinished Revolution: The Woman's Suffrage Centennial exhibit is open to the public at the Greenwich Historical Society, a dynamic and timely exhibition that takes a new look at the history and legacy of the women's suffrage movement. Be sure to check out the cafe and museum gift store at Toby's Tavern. Learn more at GreenwichHistory.org
