nyc church christmas chorale
 

We are going to Manhattan Dec. 10 to 17. Can anyone recommend choir music at a local church during this period?

Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church has a professional choir. Think Broadway and the Met.

St. Patrick's for their high mass. Both are close to each other on Fifth Avenue. LMF

fired off that post then wondered if the professional choir was still a part of the church....it is.
