Our Mission
It is the New Choral Society's mission to promote a greater interest in classical choral works within the immediate Westchester area. We strive to program a standard classical repertoire, as well as include innovative and unique offerings. We collaborate with professional artistic organizations, such as The Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program, to showcase new talent in addition to introducing and promoting local Westchester artists.
