What does the NYCC sound like?
We are currently digitizing recordings of past NYCC choirs to share on this website. Stay tuned for an announcement as we start to add those tracks in 2021.
How has Covid-19 affected the NYCC?
Unfortunately, the 2020 iteration of NYCC was cancelled due to the pandemic. While this was very disappointing, our NYCC 2020 choristers and our NYCC Alumni worked together to present 2 virtual choir pieces that can be viewed here and here.
The 2020 choristers will have the opportunity to participate in the 2022 choir.
Where will the NYCC 2022 rehearsal session and tour take place?
As of Dec 2020, Choral Canada is still in development for 2022 as we navigate the realities brought by Covid-19, however rehearsals will likely take place in Montreal with a tour through southern Ontario. NYCC 2024 is scheduled for Montreal with a tour in Quebec, while we expect that NYCC 2026 will visit the west coast in British Columbia.
