Gotham Rock Choir (GRC) is NYC's first choir devoted solely to the performance of rock/pop/soul music and related genres. Comprised of people from all walks of life and all musical levels with a passion for singing, GRC fills the void for singers that are attracted to being part of a choir, but might not be interested in traditional concert choirs or a cappella groups. Think "Glee" for adults. Supportive, friendly, diva-free environment.

First published in 1844, The Sacred Harp is the most enduringly beloved of the classic 19th century songbooks written in shape notes, an ingenious system designed as a musical teaching aid. Boisterous camp meeting ranters; ancient folk melodies; haunting, almost medieval-sounding dirges and fuging tunes are sung a cappella with the singers facing each other in a square. The result is dynamic, frequently raw, and often achingly beautiful. No experience necessary. All voices welcome.

Choristers do not need to members of the church, must commit to a regular schedule, and receive a monthly stipend. All children in the program come from Englewood and surrounding towns, representing a wide range of cultural communities, and from all faith traditions.
