It’s one of our favorite ways to share the holiday spirit with merry sightseers.

We sang some classic tunes, and a couple new favorites. And it was great to perform for such an enthusiastic audience.

If you missed the Seaport holiday cheer, you can still catch us this coming weekend at our annual holiday concert NOVA! Christmas with YNYC.

Don’t wait to buy your tickets at the door – you’ll save if you purchase in advance.

One of the best parts of singing is hearing others perform great music. So if you’re in town December 9 (and you should be – our concert is 2 days later!), we suggest checking out The Manhattan Choral Ensemble’s annual holiday concert. Find more information here.

Get ready for the holidays with YNYC’s annual holiday concert. This year, the Young New Yorkers’ Chorus presents Nova! on Sunday December 11th.  We’re showcasing holiday tunes new and old, including three brand new pieces in this year’s Composers Competition.

Tenebrae performs all their concerts by candlelight. How cool is that? As part of their USA tour this month, the group will be stopping in NYC on November 6. Our own Michael Kerschner recommends you check it out!

It’s pretty great when talented musicians use their skills to benefit those in need. So we’re impressed with The 18th Street Singers, who will perform a Thanksgiving concert to benefit charities in the Washington DC area. If you are in their neighborhood on Nov 19, be sure to stop by. We promise you’ll hear something to be thankful for.
