Are you a legal professional who's looking for a fresh way to connect with your musical interests and like-minded legal eagles while giving back meaningfully to our community?
The 80+ voice New York City Bar Chorus ("CBC") will conduct a limited number of auditions (brief, private and low-pressure), with primary focus on baritones, basses and high sopranos, for our fall 2017 cycle. We rehearse about three Tuesday evenings per month, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM, in midtown Manhattan to produce what listeners describe as a professional-quality sound, spanning musical theater, jazz, pop/rock, gospel and classical styles. For example, this fall's repertoire will include sophisticated arrangements of Tony- and Oscar-winning music from Hamilton, Dear Evan Hansen, The Wiz and La La Land.
The City Bar Chorus changes the public's perception of legal professionals "For Good." We have performed for residents of The Salvation Army's Adult Rehab Center, cancer patients and their caregivers at the American Cancer Society's Hope Lodge NYC, seniors at SAGE (Service and Advocacy for LGBT Elders), and the visually impaired at Selis Manor. For variety, our singing adventures have also included two appearances in the acclaimed New York Theatre Workshop production of The Events, as well as collaborations with other choirs and performances at two American Bar Association Annual Meetings.
We provide a forum for a diverse array of legal professionals to meet and sing together in a warm, fun and supportive environment offering many social and business networking opportunities. Prior choral or a cappella experience is preferred but not mandatory. Music-reading or sight-reading ability is helpful but not required if you have a "good ear" and a voice that blends well in a group, along with dedication to our outreach mission. You also don't have to be a salesperson -- unlike other choruses, we don't require members to sell tickets, and annual dues are modest. Come help us celebrate our 25th year of spreading musical joy!
