Morphology

local + chorus

The meaning is directly compositional: 'local' (belonging to a particular area) modifies 'chorus' (a group of singers), so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer a community group of singers. This is a literal, non-idiomatic combination that follows common noun + modifier patterns cross-linguistically.

Etymology

Local chorus comes from the simple image of people in the same town singing together, because local means from nearby and a chorus is a group that sings. So it means 'a group of local people who sing together', and that picture of neighbours singing helps you remember the meaning.
