Concord Chorus Celebrates Its 80th Season

April 3, 2026
No Comments

The Concord Chorus traces its origin to a summer 1945 performance of selections from Johannes Brahms’ German Requiem by the combined choirs of Concord’s churches at the invitation of Perry Daniels, the minister of First Parish Unitarian Church. The performance engendered so much enthusiasm that Nancy Loring (the conductor for this occasion), Katherine K. Davis (composer of The Little Drummer Boy and the first Chair of the Chorus), and Mrs. D. Ripley Gage of Concord formed a committee to organize the Concord Chorus.

    Ruth Robinson Wheeler: In Love with Concord

    Like Ruth Robinson Wheeler, I moved to Concord from Watertown, Massachusetts, and became devoted to learning and sharing the history of my adopted town. Unlike Ruth Wheeler, I’ve never been attacked by a bull.The bull attack occurred on her farm on Virginia Road in 1940, when she was fifty years old. Fortunately, she recovered from her injuries. Wrangling cattle was not an ordinary occupation for a Vassar graduate with a colonial Massachusetts pedigree, but Ruth was not an ordinary woman.
