Initially formed in 1987 simply as a means for those interested to gather together to sing, more formal concerts were later organized and presented.
In addition to two planned concerts a Year (a Christmas concert in the Fall and a Spring concert), there are frequently requests from local organizations for appearances. For example, in the spring of 2011, the group performed at the Wright Brothers Monument for the Centennial of the Wright Brothers Glider Flight.
The repertoire of the Outer Banks Chorus ranges from the Classical to Broadway, and spirituals of all kinds and in different languages. Recently the chorus has sung a number of premiere performances of pieces by contemporary composers.
All are invited to hear the chorus sing exceptionally lovely and wonderful choral music.

Oh, do not sleep friend, through this night.
You a soul, while we are suffring through this night
Banish slumber from your eYes!
The great secret is revealed in this night.
You are Jove in the high heavens,
Round heavns starry dome you circle in this night!
Like an eagle fly above!
Now a hero is your soul in this night.
Such a quiet, others sleep
I and God alone together in this night!
What a roar! Joy arises,
Truth with gleaming wing is shining in this night!
Do not sleep friend,
If I slumbered until sunrise,
I should never, never see this night again!
Thorough fares on earth are silent.
There behold the starry roads of this night.

It was Mr. Bonnie Fonseka, a distinguished Old Boy, whO's vision soon came to be a Benedictine tradition, by forming a musical club. This prompted the birth of the first College Choir. The Choir acquired a reputation for top class singing and in addition often invited to perform at important national events such as to perform with other schools when princess Elizabeth visited Ceylon in 1952.
Since Mr. Bonnie Fonseka’s retirement there were many dedicated young musicians who undertook the responsibility and uphill task of training the Choir. Some of them were Mr. Robert Joseph, Mr. Francis De Almeida, Mr. Nicholas Johnpulle, Rev Bro. Augustine and Mr. Ravein George.
Mr. Ravein George revived the Choir in 1996 and guided them to reach the height of success as being cited as a Classical Choir. The Choir won the all island singing competition in the Year 1999. The Choir of recent times is being Directed by a student of Ravien George and current... less
