Founded in 1955, the non-profit chorus is dedicated to enrich, delight and support the cultural life of the community through high-quality inspiring choral performances.

The Masterwork Chorus is one of the premier choral groups in the New York metropolitan area. Since 1961, the chorus has returned to Carnegie Hall every year for its signature performance of Handel’s Messiah. The chorus is especially well known for its performances of choral masterworks, which form the core of our repertoire. But we believe that it is important to introduce people to beautiful music that is less well known, and to bring choral music to the community through outreach and music education.

To achieve our mission, we need your help. Ticket sales alone support only part of the costs of our performances and programs. We rely on fundraising and generous donations from the public to offset costs associated with performances.
