NYC Arts: The Complete Guide to Art and Culture

The New York City Master Chorale is conducted by Founder and Artistic Director Thea Kano. The Chorale, which consists of trained musicians from the greater New York City area, performs a full range of musical styles at the highest level of quality. The New York City Master Chorale also educates the public through a regular program of outreach concerts and workshops for groups that might not otherwise have the opportunity to learn about and experience choral music.
