Richard Erickson was the Music Director and Conductor of Connecticut Chamber Choir since its inception in 1978 until he retired from this position in 2008. During that time he had conducted CCC in over fifty performances of sacred and secular choral works, representing all musical periods and styles.

He conducted his final concert at the United  Congregational Church in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on Sunday April 27th, 2008. This was a particularly memorable occasion for both audience and the members of the choir as many of Mr. Erickson's favorite pieces from his concerts over the last 30 years were performed.

All us at CCC will greatly miss his unique style of leadership and guidance as we prepare for and perform our concerts. We would like to thank him for all his efforts and support over the years and wish him the very best in his very well deserved retirement. We hope to continue seeing him at our future concerts.
