Since 1972 we are proud to sponsor our Summer and Messiah Sings
to provide a musical treat for New Yorkers. Under the batons
of leading conductors, with music scores provided, choral music
enthusiasts can participate in the singing of great choral masterpieces
in the historic and intimate Church of St. Luke in the Fields.
These Sings have been noted for their friendly, informal atmosphere
and high quality of musical performance. Our rehearsal format
gives participants, amateur and experienced singer alike, a
closer look at these monumental choral works. Solos are sometimes
sung by guest artists, audience members or entire sections.
Participants have an opportunity to meet the conductor at the
intermission and to discuss the evening's work. Light refreshments
are served at this time.
