Selected as one of "The New York Times'" "Best Classical Music Moments" of the week.

"Dusty Francis conducted the chorus in a fine performance of Rachmaninoff’s All-Night Vigil at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin near Times Square...An alto from the choir, Jenna Hinckley, sang the extended solo of the second movement...with just the right deep tone and moody, thoughtful reserve. Lovely." JAMES R. OESTREICH

"Give yourself the gift of the experience!" ~ Audience Member

Messiah Reimagined - December 8, 2018

The mission of the New York City Master Chorale is to make a significant statement for choral excellence. To this end, the Chorale, which consists of trained musicians from the greater New York City area, broadens public interest in fine choral music by performing a full range of musical styles at the highest level of quality. The Chorale also educates the public through a regular program of outreach concerts and workshops for groups that might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about and experience choral music.
