Below is a representative sampling of press reviews of the Choral Society:

  • “The New York Choral Society was in fine form in that excerpt and throughout the evening”
    — The New York Times (Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala)
  • “Asher Fisch led members of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and the New York Choral Society in rousing performances...”
    — The New York Times (Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala)

  • “For nearly half a century, the New York Choral Society has been one of the city's cultural gems.”
    — New York Post
  • A Chorus as It Was Meant to Be: “The New York Choral Society gave a splendid Salute to American Music at Carnegie Hall...successful in every way. The group...is amateur, but only in the sense that singing is not their livelihood. It easily could be.”
    — The New York Daily News
  • “The New York Choral Society displays Verdi's glorious choral writing.”
    — USA Today (Richard Tucker Music Foundation Gala with Leontyne Price)

    — The Newark Star-Ledger (New York Premiere of James DeMars’ Tito’s Say)
  • “Goodwin’s tempos and dynamic range were impeccably judged, and he caught the elusive Czech country idiom that permeates the score. The chorus outdid itself.”
    — The New York Daily News (Dvořák’s Stabat Mater in Carnegie Hall commemorating the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth)
  • “The large chorus gave us passion and a wonderful blending of sound.”
