Welcome to the New York City Community Chorus
Every Voice Belongs
A COMMUNITY CHORUS FOR ALL NEW YORKERS
For more than thirty years, the New York City Community Chorus has welcomed people of every background, age, and ability to sing together as a fully inclusive, non-sectarian community.
We are a non-audition chorus where beginners, seasoned singers, and everyone in between come together simply for the joy of making music. Our rehearsals blend community, creativity, and connection through songs that span cultures, genres, and generations. Whether you’re looking to rediscover your voice, meet new people, or share the power of music with others, you’ll find a home here.
Our dear friend and beloved tenor Cort Cheek passed away on April 29th.
To celebrate his life, please join us for a memorial in his honor. All are welcome.
When: Sunday, May 31, 2026
Time: 3:00–5:00
Where: Church of Holy Apostles
Address: 296 9th Avenue
If you can’t join us in person, you’ll also be able to attend on Zoom. Please check back for additional details.
Cort was a member of our chorus for more than 25 years and a frequent soloist. He first found us at a street fair many years ago while searching for a musical outlet and quickly became an important part of our community.
Though Cort lived with constant pain and significant health challenges, he met life with generosity, humor, and optimism. He was the soul of our Chorus. We will miss him.
If you have any questions, or would like to leave a note with Jack, please send an email to: nyccommunitychorus@gmail.com

ALL VOICES MATTER
We’re committed to acceptance and inclusivity. We welcome everyone to sing with our chorus, regardless of their experience, talent, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, physical abilities, or financial resources.
I moved to Manhattan right after graduating college in December of 2022, and joined the NYC Community Chorus in January 2023.
It is an understatement to say that it's been the highlight of moving to New York -- being a part of the community of singers that Jack and the members have so lovingly cultivated has made the city feel like home in a way that I never thought it could. In a very short time, the members of the Chorus have become some of my dearest friends in New York. The supportiveness, openness to trying new things, and genuine love for music that the choir embodies is phenomenal, and I can't think of a better way to meet new people, sing, and have fun than through NYCCC!
