JOIN THE NYC BAR CHORUS!
Top 5 reasons to join the New York City Bar Chorus:
—We serve as goodwill ambassadors of the New York City Bar Association to bring the healing power of music to those who cannot easily access it. Over the past 33 years, our dedicated 90-voice ensemble has changed the public’s view of lawyers for the better, one performance at a time.
​
—We sing interesting choral arrangements spanning musical theater, jazz, pop/rock, spiritual/gospel and classical styles. Whether your prior singing experience has been in school/community classical chorus, sacred choir, contemporary a cappella group, musical theater or carpool karaoke, you’ll find lots to enjoy in our music.
​
—Our rehearsal and performance schedules are designed to fit well into busy legal professionals' lives. We generally rehearse and/or perform two or three Tuesday evenings per month in person (in midtown Manhattan), producing a pro-quality sound in <50% of the rehearsal time of most other groups. We conduct two rehearsal/performance cycles each year, one from September to December and the other from January through June, taking a break in July and August.
​
—With a core community outreach mission, we have performed at senior residences, nursing homes, centers for the visually impaired, cancer patient residences, rehab facilities, as well as at the NYC Bar, ABA annual meetings and even off-Broadway and at Carnegie Hall!
​
—We bring together like-minded legal professionals and create social and business networking opportunities through music while giving back meaningfully to our community. Members also experience the proven stress-busting and camaraderie-building benefits of choral singing, including frequent group socials.
