“Singing together makes me feel hopeful and like I’m a part of something bigger than myself. Best part of my week is rehearsal and singing with this great group of humans.”
– MICHAEL BLANDINO, ACADEMIC ADVISOR

Ripley Grier Studios, 520 8th Ave, New York, NY 10018
While Balance Arts Center remains the primary rehearsal space, some sessions will need to take place at Ripley Grier. It’s about a 12 minute walk between the two venues, so hopefully it won’t cause too many issues.
Day: Thursdays
Time: 7:30-9pm
Dates: Check back soon for Fall / Winter 2026-2027 dates.
Fee: $22 per rehearsal.

Ability Level: All - no audition needed. Our choir members range from professionals to beginners and everyone in between.
Teaching Method: Hybrid learning model - ‘Learn-by-ear’ and music notation. You do NOT need to be able to read sheet music to take part. Harmonies will be taught by ear but sheet music will be offered as a rehearsal tool for people that read notation. This is a little different to our typical approach to choir leading.
