Getting Involved

Schola Cantorum on Hudson is a 40-to-45-voice choral ensemble and educational organization. Our singers represent a mix of well-qualified amateurs and active professionals. Singing membership is attained through a successful audition. The Hudson County based choral ensemble presents a minimum of three different programs each year: a seasonal concert in December, an Ethnic Celebration Series concert and a special theme concert. Each program is often repeated in additional venues. Concerts regularly attract hundreds of dedicated and enthusiastic audience members, representing the diverse communities of Hudson County and the New York metropolitan area. For the past two years, Schola has the privileged invitation to perform for the thousands of people who attend the annual “A City Singing At Christmas” at the Cathedral of St. Patrick. Schola Cantorum on Hudson has been hailed by critics for its innovative program and “the most uniquely rounded bel canto singing ever heard in live choral singing.” Schola happily resides at the forefront of contemporary choral music by commissioning and premiering new works, including this season’s premiere of Randall Svane’s Mass. Schola Cantorum on Hudson has produced three compact disc recordings: Songs from the Heart, Cantorum Christmas, and Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana. Schola is equally enthusiastic in its commitment to providing the highest quality of music education to its members and the community at large with programs that build the foundation for future generations of singers and choral music lovers.
