What is Westchester Oratorio Society?

The Westchester Oratorio Society, under the direction of its exciting, young conductor Benjamin Niemczyk, enlists competent volunteer singers from Westchester, Fairfield and Putnam counties as well as the New York metropolitan area. Voices in all categories are welcome, including those of high school and college age.

A brief vocal placement is required - come try us out! The chorus, numbering 60+ singers, performs masterworks from the eighteenth through the twenty-first centuries with professional orchestra and professional soloists.

Do You Love to Sing?

If so give us a try. Choral and/or solo singing experience will help but is not a requirement. Each singer learns music differently, and in WOS a wealth of methods are employed including MIDI rehearsal files, rehearsal recordings, professional performances on CD, playing lines at the piano and more.
