The Chamber Choir is the third and highest level of the chorus. This choir consists of singers who have been in the Preparatory and/or Concert Choir or who exhibit extraordinary talent at the audition and who have established good vocal technique, are excellent sight readers, and are willing to make a strong commitment to the BNYC. This group is limited to sixty (60) singers who are steadfast to touring, recording and performing for special concerts and events. Music for this choir is more sophisticated and challenging, therefore rehearsals are more demanding. Strong emphasis is placed on music reading and theory, as well as vocal training at a more advanced level. The Chamber Choir is the Touring Choir and each chorister is strongly encouraged to participate in the upcoming tour upon acceptance into the group. Weekly rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings, 7:00 - 8:30 PM. The director is John Fleischman and the accompanist is Catherine Sutherland.
