Thank you for Summer Singing with Us!
A heartfelt Gratias Agimus Tibi to everyone who made our 2o26 Summer Sing series such a harmonious success!
Over the course of the eight Sings in July and August, we were thrilled to welcome more than 900 singers (including many newcomers as well as familiar faces) to our home at Judson Memorial Church to sing through some of the most beloved works in the choral canon.
Thanks to our conductors Philip Cheah, Michael Sheetz, Hannah Nacheman, Ryan Brandau, John Maclay, David Recca, Patrick Gardner, and our own Colin Britt for putting us through our musical paces, and piloting us through fugues and fortissimi.
A
nd a special bravo! goes out to our squad of pianists—Peter Kelmelis, Brian Wong, Rebecca Ehren, and Michele Wong—for providing the “orchestra” each week.
Best of luck to all of our Summer Sing friends in the upcoming choral season, and we’ll see you back at Judson on Thursday, December 17th for our Messiah Sing!

Join our 2027 Concert Tour!
…not that we want to rush this summer to its close, but we are already looking ahead to summer 2o27, when the WVC and friends will head out on our next concert tour—this time to central Europe, with stops and performances in Prague, Budepest and Vienna.
Singers in all voice parts are welcome (especially you tenors and basses!), as are non-singing friends and family.

Thank you for coming to our Spring Concert!
The West Village Chorale was proud to close our 2025-26 season with This Land is Your Land, a collaboration with Jersey City-based Nimbus Dance.
We were particularly thrilled to perform two pieces by acclaimed composer Saunder Choi: his New Colossus, a compelling setting of the Emma Lazarus poem at the base of the Statue of Liberty, and the world premiere of Angel Island Lamentations, commissioned by the Chorale and featuring world-premiere choreography for Nimbus by award-winning composer Houston Thomas.
It was a particular honor to bring this program to Judson Memorial Church—the birthplace of postmodern dance in the 1960’s—which continues to be known as a venue for many groundbreaking works.
