Program
Empire Harmony is a brand new, auditioned vocal ensemble dedicated to bringing the joy of barbershop and a cappella music to our community. More than just a chorus, we are a welcoming group of singers that meets each Wednesday to grow musically, offering skill-building opportunities for our members and bringing uplifting, accessible performances to neighborhoods across the city.
The Washington Heights Community Choir is a no-audition community chorus based in upper Manhattan, dedicated to bringing the joy of singing into our community. Our mission is to provide people of all ages and abilities who love to sing the chance to connect and create with others who share the same passion. Through the choir, we aim to foster creativity, lift spirits, build community bonds, and more.
