FAQ re The BIG SING:

 

Q. Who can sing?  

 

Anyone!  No audition.  No background check.  

 

Q. Don’t I need to be an NYCC member?  

 

Nope.  All are welcome!

 

Q. What if I want to just listen?  

 

Perfectly fine.  You have a treat in store!

 

Q. What music is sung and where do I get it?  

 

All music selected for The BIG SING is freely is drawn from the “public domain” - meaning, out of copyright. You'll receive a download link for the score once you register.

 

NOTE:  Scores are not provided on site (which is part of how it can be a free event!), so each singer does need to come with his/her own e-reader or printed copy.

 

Q. Why do people come?

 

As many reasons as individuals, to be sure, but . . . well, it’s a “shared community” thing among people who share a passion for the choral art.  This one day each year, all singers in all choirs are able to come together as One Great Big Apple Choir!  (The NYCC holds to a strict policy for this event as a solicitations-free zone.)  

 

Q. How do I learn the music?  

 

If you’ve sung in choirs, you’ll probably know at least some of it already.  What you don’t know already, others will, making singing along a reasonable expectation.  You can sit near others who sing your voice part.
