Hallelujah: 45
Join us as we celebrate 45 years of choral excellence with “Hallelujah: 45″—a concert honoring the music that shaped the Northern Kentucky Community Chorus from its earliest days. In this anniversary program, we return to our roots with timeless masterworks by Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Randall Thompson, and John Rutter—composers whose music has defined our legacy and inspired generations of singers and audiences alike.
We are thrilled to welcome the NKU Chamber Choir, under the direction of Katie Barton, for a powerful intergenerational performance. This collaboration holds deep significance, as NKCC was founded at Northern Kentucky University in 1980 by faculty member Dr. John Westlund.
Don’t miss this inspiring afternoon of music, memory, and community as we reflect on 45 years—and look ahead to the future.

Love, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
Join us for a powerful and uplifting afternoon of music as we celebrate a double milestone: the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and a landmark year for NKCC, the end of our 45th anniversary season!
Our April 2026 concert, “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness”, will unfold in three thematic sections—each inspired by one of the founding American ideals. Through a rich blend of choral works, this program reimagines the spirit of the nation with music that speaks to our shared history and collective future.
We’re thrilled to welcome The Queen City Sisters, a dynamic vocal trio known for their tight harmonies and vintage flair! They’ll perform throughout the program with nostalgic favorites from the 1940s–60s, including songs made famous by Kentucky legend Rosemary Clooney. Their vibrant energy will add a joyful, memorable touch to this celebration of American ideals.
