The New York Choral Society

EST. 1959

We Are NYCHORAL

Since 1959, every voice and every selection comes together to embody the vibrant, artistic spirit of New York City. We are reimagining how choral music can look and sound. Our work blends the classical and the contemporary to create performances that amplify the creative pulse of our boroughs.

We are where tradition meets bold creativity. We are the voice of the city.

Panelists: Imani Mosley, David Hayes, and Jill Abramson

You're Invited!

What can music tell us about how people respond in times of fear, division, and political upheaval, and why do these questions keep returning?

Join us for a discussion exploring Michael Tippett’s A Child of Our Time and Paul Hindemith’s Mathis der Maler, two works shaped by the turmoil of 1930s Europe. 

A Chorus for a New Era

150+ voices strong, we are a modern chorus charting a new course for choral music. Fused together by our shared passion for this powerful art form, we create choral experiences that are immersive and thought-provoking. 

Choral music doesn’t belong to just one kind of person, one tradition, or one past. Our work challenges the assumptions of “what choral music IS” and instead fearlessly asks “what can choral music BE?”

Let’s Build the Chorus of the Future Together

Because choral music isn’t just about the past, it’s about what’s next.

Choral Music is For Everyone

We welcome everyone, regardless of your ability, language, or background to connect with this breathtaking art form. If you share our vision, we welcome you – to sing with us, to listen with us, and to help us build a chorus that looks and sounds like the city we call home.
