“B-Side Choir has become the highlight of my week. Great people, great tunes and just so much fun!”
– Clair Tims, FIRST GRADE TEACHER
A-list singing on the B-side of the bridge.
If history has taught us anything, it’s that you can’t stop the music. (Just ask the Kinks. Or the Village People. Or Rihanna.) So when our Brooklynite Choir started bursting at the seams, we just started a new outfit — and B-Side Choir was born. It’s got the same mix of harmony, joy and hilarity as its older sibling, but with just a hint of retro flair and a heart as big as the borough.
You’ll raise your voice to the rooftops with an amazing group of people and get a chance to mix it up: pop, rock, alt, even a little Broadway if we feel inspired. (But we promise jazz hands will only be used ironically.) It’s some of the music that made LPs great—from Fleetwood Mac to the Bangles—and some for those of you too young to know what an LP is.
So if you have music in your soul and Wednesdays free, there’s a place for you in B-Side Choir.

*Note: We generally follow the Department of Education Calendar and pause choir rehearsals when public schools are not in session or closed to honor holidays. Public Schools are closed on May 27th as it is Eid al-Adha. We ARE going to have rehearsal on this day because it is so close to the performance. However, if you observe and won't be at choir, please let us know before signing up and we will send you a credit for the session. Also, April 1st (while technically not a DOE holiday) is the first night of Passover. If you celebrate and won’t be at choir, feel free to reach out for a credit before signing up.
Cycle Fee: $280 ($20 per session). This can be paid in up to six installments.
Financial aid is available; please contact us for more info
Ability Level: All - no audition needed. Our choir members range from professionals to beginners and everyone in between.
Teaching Method: Our approach focuses on ‘learning by ear’ so we typically don’t use sheet music (we provide lyric sheets). Check out our FAQs for more info on this. If you are a die-hard sheet music singer consider joining Manhattanite Choir as they incorporate notation in their rehearsals.
Participants: Maximum 55 people.
