Your Hosts ~ The Hudson Valley Singers
A Westchester-based community chorus under the professional direction of Eugene Sirotkine, Assistant Conductor of the Metropolitan Opera
The
Hudson Valley Singers gave their debut concert on March 15, 1951, at the
Graham School in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York. The group has been in existence
continuously since that time, performing choral music of the 17th through
20th centuries.
The
group's objectives have always been to contribute to the cultural life
of the community through our public performances and to provide our amateur
choral singers with professional instruction.
In the past two years we organized optional concert tours to Budapest and Costa Rica, each of which was wonderously well-received and incredibly fun.
In1998,
Eugene Sirotkine joined the Hudson Valley Singers
as Music Director and brought a very special vitality and enthusiasm to
the group.
Eugene:
“When I told the Met chorus that I was doing ‘Gira la cote’ from Puccini’s Turandot with my Hudson Valley Chorus, they were amazed that an amateur ensemble would attempt a piece even they find challenging. It was truly marvelous.”Carol (alto):
“We’ve all grown so much as musicians since Eugene took the helm here. Performing some of the the finest choral music ever written with world-class soloists is a feeling I can’t even begin to describe.”
