The choir requests audience members bring nonperishable food donations for the Concern for Neighbors food bank.
Choir of the Sound is a non-profit, all volunteer organization affiliated with Shoreline Community College, and directed by Judy Filibeck. The choir was founded in 1977 by Robert Metzger as the Shoreline Community College Chorale, and assumed its present name in 1980. COTS has since grown to more than 100 active members. The choir offers three concerts annually, including Pops selections, a Classical concert, and the winter Holiday concert.
Tours of Europe in 1983 and 1995 featured performances in Austria, the Czech Republic, and Germany. In November 2005, COTS singers joined four other choirs and two New York City soloists at Carnegie Hall in a performance of Vivaldi’s “Gloria” under the direction of conductor Jonathan Griffiths, accompanied by the New England Symphonic Ensemble. In the summer of 2007, COTS singers toured Italy, performing in Florence, Venice, and Verona.
The choir also hosts an Invitational Concert for local school choirs and awards a $1,000 scholarship to one senior from each guest choir.
