The 2011 - 2012 Season Announced

Canterbury Choral Society will launch its 60th Season under the direction of founder and conductor Charles Dodsley Walker on December 18, 2011 with a special Christmas concert of holiday music at the Church of the Heavenly Rest at 90th Street and Fifth Avenue, New York, NY.

The 60th Anniversary Season features an enticing series of three concerts exemplifying the principles which have guided the Canterbury Choral Society from the beginning. Our selection of works to perform this season will include compositions spanning five centuries.
The opening concert pairs the seventeenth and twentieth centuries, and will feature Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Messe de Minuit pour Noël (Midnight Mass for Christmas) and Quatre Motets pour le Temps de Noël (Four Songs for the Time of Christmas) by Francis Poulenc.
Charpentier's mass draws upon popular French noëls from the time, and they will be sung by trebles from St. Hilda's and St. Hugh's School, and from St. Michael's Church, both in Manhattan, under the direction of Jonathan DeVries. Become a contributor today
