About Us
The New York Choral Consortium serves to support, strengthen and promote New York City choruses of all descriptions by fostering a spirit of collaboration and cooperation among its constituent ensembles. The group has been meeting regularly since Richard Westenburg convened the group in 2005.
NYCC member choruses are represented by music directors, board presidents and executive directors who meet bi-monthly from September to May to discuss common issues related to marketing, publicity, programming, rehearsal logistics and fundraising in a spirit of mutual respect and support. If you are a music director or board member of a chorus and would like to participate in these activities of this group, please email us... > if you have questions about membership or benefits.
The NYCC maintains and distributes an internal Choral Calendar to members in order to facilitate greater variety in programming and to avoid conflicting concert dates when possible. We also maintain a public calendar of choral concert by member choruses. In addition, the Consotrium sponsors Sing New York!, a festival of choral music that takes place every sping in New York City. See Membership and Benefits .. > for more information on what the value of consortium activities.
The annual festival, a project of the Consortium, will run from April 15 through June 15, 2012, encompassing the scheduled performances of more than 50 New York City choral groups. They preseng concerts of familiar as well as rarely-heard works by Medieval and Renaissance masters; well-known and beloved works by Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms and other Classical composers; and world premiers as well as familiar works by contemporary composers; and almost everything in between.
