NYC choral concerts
 
I will by in New York City the week of 3/27 and am wondering if there are any choral concerts going on? Tried the site for St John the Divine, but it only gives this weeks schedule. Thanks!!

You hit the jackpot!
THE CHOIR OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE
March 29,
St. Thomas Church,
One West 53rd St,
New York, NY
A service of choral evensong, 5:30 pm
It's free and I'd guess would be crowded. Get there early.

There are also several concerts at St. Bart's (St. Bartholomew's on Park & 51 st.) including the Chapel Choir of Winchester College, England on Fri. 3/31 at 7:30

The BEST place for info on choral music is www.van.org (vocal area network). I'm sure one of the big choruses will be singing somewhere. You might try the website for Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center.

In the city the big choruses are:
New York Choral
Dessoff
Colegiate Choral Society
City Chorus
Riverside Choral Society
Masterworks
Canterbury Choral Society
Oratorio Choral Society
and a bunch more I can't think of right now.

Try VAN it should give you the websites for all the choruses and dates for concerts.

If you need more info, I will ask around for you. Normally I would know, but I am not singing this season.

Wow, I wish <b>I</b> was in NY this week. Anyone would be hard pressed to find a better group anywhere in the world than the Cambridge singers.
And free to boot - yeah, you BETTER show up early.
