The Hershey Community Chorus was founded in 1934 and has served the greater Hershey community for the last 90 years. The chorus has been rehearsing since August in preparation for its holiday concerts, which will feature holiday musical selections connected to the year 1934. Connections include birth dates or death dates of composers or performers, the release of works, the presentation of concerts, and the founding of groups.

The chorus rehearses on Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. under the direction of Matt Dickinson with Karen Kline as accompanist. No auditions are held, with the only requirement being a love of singing traditional choral music. Members of the Hershey Community Chorus hail from not only Hershey itself, but also from the surrounding area. Middletown, Harrisburg, New Cumberland, Landisville, Elizabethtown, Palmyra, Columbia, Hummelstown, Camp Hill, and Lebanon are all represented among the 80 members who will perform. The chorus has grown significantly in the last two years. New members are welcome.
