Great Neck Choral Society

Does Music run through your veins? Do you sing in the shower????

The Great Neck Choral Society is beginning its 62nd year! These are exciting times for us! We have a brand new, dynamic Conductor and we welcome new singers! We rehearse Wednesday evenings from 7 to 9:30 PM at the Great Neck South Middle School on Lakeville Road. Come see us - visitors are welcome. Our first rehearsal will be Wednesday, September 4. Then if you think this choir is for you, stay for a very brief (and easy) audition. We hope to see you!

Joining our very talented Conductor Mr. David Close will be our former Director, Ms. Virginia Davidson, who will celebrate her 90th birthday in May. Virginia will raise her baton to conduct two pieces - her original composition, "Come Lord", and her beautiful arrangement of "Amazing Grace".
