Join us for Holiday Modulations
Every December, the Young New Yorkers' Chorus gathers to celebrate the season in a way that's all our own. Holiday Modulations is a program of choral music, curated to envelop you in sound, grandeur, and nostalgia without leaning on the usual holiday tropes. It's a chance to find warmth and wonder in the season through music that feels both familiar and surprising.
Choral nerds and music lovers of all kinds will enjoy a program full of beautiful, rousing, and profound works almost exclusively by living composers. Whatever the season means to you, there's a seat for you here.
