Audition not required. The Chorus performs 14-16 pieces from the Romantic period to modern – classical to doo-wop – and including spirituals, folk, patriotic, musical theater, and the American Songbook.

Conductor for August 2024 is Michael Wright, conductor of the Catskill Glee Club and president of the Conductors Club of New York.

Rehearsals are scheduled from 1-5 pm on August 8 and 3:30-5 pm on August 9. Singers receive music about a month before the first concert in the form of audio (MP3) files and PDFs. The MP3 files will be customized for each voice part.

Registration fee: $30; includes MP3 and PDF files, and sheet music. Binders are distributed but must be returned after the final concert so that they may be reused the following year.

Singers are responsible for making their own lodging arrangements. A list of nearby accommodations is available on request, and it is likely that a discounted rate will be offered by at least one lodging.
