The Stow Festival Chorus, under the direction of Barbara Jones, is now in its 28th season. It is devoted to exploring the classics of choral literature as well as many great but lesser known works of significance. Major works such as Requiems by Mozart, Brahms and Verdi, and Masses by Haydn, Mozart, Beach and Berlioz are performed with full orchestra in the fall; works on a slightly smaller scale are presented in our March concerts, and a variety of shorter pieces, including spirituals, show tunes and madrigals are offered for our May concerts.

The Stow Festival Chorus is an all-volunteer, open group. Auditions are not required. Principles of good singing and musicianship are realized through rehearsals that are challenging and fun. The Stow Festival Chorus  is a member of the Greater Boston Choral Consortium. The Sounds of Stow Orchestra consists of talented local musicians who enjoy playing a diverse repertoire of classics.
