Celebrating 100 Years of Dessoff

Thank you for joining us for Dessoff’s season-opening performance of Brahms' Requiem at The Town Hall on November 2nd! It was an honor to feature the extraordinary talents of our guest artists, Will Liverman and Joélle Harvey, and our talented Dessoff alumni, who added so much to the performance. A heartfelt thanks goes out to our guest conductors, Kent Tritle and Christopher Shepard. It was truly special to have them back with The Dessoff Choirs!

We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming concerts - don’t miss Messiah Sing! On December 6, and Welcome Yule on December 7 and 8!

Tickets are now available HERE!

Founded in 1924 by Margarete Dessoff, the Dessoff Choirs has been a fixture in the New York classical music scene ever since. Known for introducing unknown, long-forgotten, or newly composed works to American audiences, Dessoff’s nine music directors have continued expanding Margarete’s legacy, each in their own way. Malcolm J. Merriweather, Dessoff’s current music director, has used this podium to reintroduce the works of Black women composers including Margaret Bonds, Florence Price, and Valerie Capers, along with commissioning new works.
