MAKING HARMONY A WALK IN THE PARK

We heard that folks on the Upper West Side were down-to-earth, community-minded and culturally curious, and thought “what a coincidence, that’s exactly the kind of person who thrives in our choirs.” (It only took us 14 years to make the connection.)

Enter Parkside Choir, the newest addition to our NYCP family. Led by Shane Dittmar, one of our newest choir leaders and a heck of a human, it’s a new interpretation of our winning formula: Pop, rock, and indie. Classics and deep cuts. Brilliant 5- (sometimes 6-) part harmony. An no pressure. Just groovy music, great friends and the kind of laughs that dissolve the day away.

Oh, and it’s in a church, but don’t let that sway you (one way or the other) - the closest to worship we’ll get is probably Chappell Roan or Prince.

So if you’re looking for a local place to let your inner diva loose, you’re already there.

 
 

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.
