Come and Join us-the newest and most exciting NYC downtown community chorus

Borough of Manhattan Community College Downtown Chorus
The Borough of Manhattan Community College Downtown Chorus is a new non-profit organization dedicated to fostering and sharing the art and joy of choral music and to enriching and educating our City's downtown community through concert performances of music from diverse historical periods and cultures.

The chorus' founder and artistic director is Dr. Eugenia Oi Yan Yau who is assistant professor of music at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC/CUNY). At BMCC she directs the college's choirs, including the BMCC Select Chorus which she founded in 2005, and teaches voice. Dr. Yau has also served as the director of the Pace University Downtown Chorale.

The BMCC Downtown Chorus will rehearse on Tuesday evenings, September through May, at the BMCC campus, 199 Chambers Street, NY, NY 10007 from 7:15-9:30 PM. The first rehearsal is scheduled for September 19th in Room S190.

The Chorus is looking for many new voices to join a friendly -and varied - core group of singers. Singers of all experience levels and of all vocal ranges are welcome. The ability to read music is a plus but not a requirement as is prior chorale experience.

Auditions for the Chorus will be held on September 5th (Tues), 12th (Tues) and 18th (Mon), from 7:15-9:30 p.m. at the Chambers Street campus. Interested persons should contact Dr. Yau at (212) 220-8000 ext. 7240 or e-mail: eyau@bmcc.cuny.edu for an appointment.
