If you are interested, please fill out the form and our conductor, Jonathan De Vries, will contact you to arrange a time for a short audition. No preparation or prepared music is necessary, and we strive to make the process as positive and welcoming as possible! Jonathan usually offers a short audition to confirm tone, voice part, tuning and basic sight-reading skills. This can be done in-person or on zoom, whatever is easiest for you

Rehearsals are held September-May, primarily on Monday evenings, at Church of the Heavenly Rest, on Fifth Avenue at East 90th Street, New York, NY from 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm.

Canterbury's Philosophy
Canterbury's successes have their origins in the inclusive and welcoming spirit of Founder Charles Dodsley Walker, whose philosophy was to demand - but with enthusiasm, patience, and grace - the best that the singers and musicians before him could produce. Conductor Jonathan De Vries maintains these high standards, with a directorial tone that is gentle and encouraging. 

If you'd like to hear a rehearsal, please do!  Normally we rehearse at Church of the Heavenly Rest, Fifth Avenue at 90th Street, on Mondays from 7:30-9:30 pm, but there are some exceptions.  To confirm your wish to attend, please email us at canterburychoral@gmail.com.
