Following auditions in February 2015, the group began rehearsals in late March in preparation for its initial concert in June. Thanks to a wonderful newspaper article about the new choral ensemble in the Rocky Mount Telegram, a large appreciative audience attended this concert at First Presbyterian Church in Rocky Mount.  A recent, unsolicited review in the Rocky Mount Telegram referred to the Rocky Mount Chamber Choir as “Rocky Mount’s hidden musical jewel “ and to its “exquisite vocal sounds of Americana, spiritual, folk, and classical music.”

In addition to its regular season of three local concerts, RMCC also performs in venues and on concert series around the state.  Since its founding, the ensemble has presented three concerts in Raleigh, a concert at First Presbyterian Church in New Bern, and a performance on the Music at First concert series in Wilmington, as well as a second concert there at First Baptist Church.  In May 2017, RMCC was invited to present a concert at Wesleyan College’s Dunn Center to celebrate the 20th anniversary of its Performing Arts Series.  In 2018 the singers gave a concert as a part of the Bruton Parish concert series in Williamsburg, Virginia.

Since its founding in 2015, the overriding goal of RMCC has been to be a positive force in the Rocky Mount community by offering beautiful music to all who choose to listen.  In order to make this music accessible to everyone, all concerts have been and continue to be free of charge.  In addition to free concerts, the organization also gives back to the community by collecting an offering at each Christmas concert.  These gifts go to support local charities in Rocky Mount and typically amount to $1,200 - $1,500, thanks to the generosity of appreciative audience members.
