The 2010-11 season will see the Nashua Symphony Chorus performing Mahler's 8th in November in Lexington, MA and in Nashua; a family Christmas concert at the Nashua Country Club in December; and Vivaldi in April.
Since Ms. Cushing’s arrival in August 2006, the NSC has achieved new levels of success. Ms. Cushing’s 15-year tenure as Founding Director of the Mount Wachusett Community Chorale and her current faculty position as Director of the Keene State College Concert Choir bring a wealth of experience to our ensemble. It has been a period of intense growth for the Chorus that has deepened relationships, enriched the sound, and broadened the audience.
