The Gounod Society

Hide Profile

Founded in 1887 as a small choral society dedicated to singing glees and part-songs, the Gounod Society grew to include more than 300 singers and regularly performed large choral works with the New Haven Symphony. The founding of the New Haven Oratorio Society in 1903 effectively ended the rehearsals and performances of the Gounod Society. The papers of the New Haven Oratorio Society can be found in the Music Library as MSS 5.
