Central City Chorus

Central City Chorus is one of the premier mid-sized choirs in New York City. From its modest start in 1981 as chorus-in-residence at Central Presbyterian Church, Central City Chorus has grown into a highly accomplished 55-voice chorus of dedicated volunteer singers. Hailed by The New Yorker as the City’s “fine avocational choir”, the Chorus performs a variety of music spanning a wide range of periods and geography, from a cappella works by Byrd, Bruckner, Glass, Howells, Mäntyjärvi, Monk, Palestrina, Poulenc, Rachmaninov, Victoria, and Whitacre, to choral-orchestral masterpieces like Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem, Mozart’s Mass in c minor, J.S. Bach’s Magnificat and Weihnachtsoratorium, Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms, and the rarely-heard Requiem by Delius.
