The Southern Crescent Chorale (SCC) has established a reputation for excellence and achievement in the south metro area arts community.

Passionately conducted by veteran choral director, Janice Folsom, the Chorale’s mission is to enrich its communities and provide talented and interested singers an opportunity to perform a variety of challenging choral literature with high performance standards. The Chorale performs major choral works, as well as opera, Spirituals, and Broadway favorites. Chorale members hail from six different metro Atlanta counties. They dedicate many hours to making music and have performed before thousands of people at venues throughout the Southern Crescent region.

The Chorale returned to Europe in summer 2010 for a tour of Vienna, Prague, and Berlin, again in 2013 touring Spain and France and again in 2016 touring Scotland, England, and France. In 2019, the Chorale wowed audience in Sweden, Denmark and Norway. The Chorale continued the touring tradition by visiting Andalusia, Spain and Lisbon, Portugal in the summer of 2023. The most recent tour was in summer 2026 as the group performed for appreciative audiences in Sorrento, Italy, Sicily, and Greece.

The Chorale is pleased to give its own gift to the community each season by presenting a benefit concert.  The benefit concert is offered to the public free of charge and is aimed at generating donations to organizations that serve children.  Beneficiaries of the Chorale’s benefit concerts have included Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, the Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes and Family Ministries, the Southwest Christian Care “Hope House” Respite Center, The Joseph Sams School, Bloom, Children’s Village of Christian City, Rainbow House, Inc., Hope House, Camp Southern Ground, EXPOSE ATL, AVPride, Wellspring Living, Joey Potter Missions, and The Bedford School.
