Come make music on Thursday evenings with a joyful, hardworking chorus of 50 singers from all walks of life and levels of experience. Under the direction of noted music director and educator Dr. Susan Glass, The Glass Menagerie — now in its 40th year — presents two concerts a year for a large, loyal, and appreciative audience in beautiful and welcoming Manhattan venues. Our adventurous and eclectic repertoire spans classical masterworks from every era, music rooted in folk and vernacular traditions, and the work of living composers.

Our December 14, 2024, concert is titled Gloria!, and will feature a performance of John Rutter’s Gloria for chorus, brass, percussion, and organ. We’ll also perform settings of Ave Maria by Franz Biebl and Johannes Brahms as well as other music appropriate to the season.

Rehearsals begin on September 5, 2024, and take place every Thursday during the academic year from 6:30 to 9:00 PM at LREI (Little Red School House/Elisabeth Irwin High School), 272 Sixth Avenue at Bleecker Street, New York, NY 10014.

If you are interested in singing with us this Fall, please join us for our first rehearsal on September 5, 2024. After the rehearsal Susan Glass will audition you. Come see if this is the chorus for you!

To sign up, please complete the webform below. If can’t make the September 5, 2024 rehearsal, please complete the sign-up form anyway, and we’ll try to accommodate you.

No audition preparation is necessary, but singers interested in joining us should have some prior choral experience and a basic ability to sight read music. The rehearsal beforehand will give you a good idea of our level and our way of learning.
