History:

In October of 1997 the Naugatuck Arts Commission sought out singers to start a community choir here in the borough of Naugatuck. The Naugatuck Community Choir, now in its 11th year, encourages interest in choral music for residents of the greater Naugatuck area and beyond. It provides great music as a source of entertainment and education for the general community. With members from 17 communities the NCC provides year round opportunities for participation in performance at a variety of local venues for entertainment, education, fundraising and the personal satisfaction of the members and the audience. The Naugatuck Community Choir is a non-profit, non-audition organization that is open to any and all adults that have a love of great choral music and a passion for excellence.
