Acoustics, Capacity & Ambience ~ This Place Has It All

We combed Westchester County in search of the ideal combination
of
stage area, acoustics, seating capacity, ambience and parking.
We found it at the White Plains Presbyterian Church.
We have a new-found
appreciation for location scouts. Trying to find the perfect venue in
which to perform pieces like the St. Matthew Passion was almost as difficult
as singing them!
We
needed superior acoustics, room enough to handle a 73-member double chorus
plus a 35-piece orchestra and a suitably located pipe organ.
It also had to have
sufficient seating, be centrally located, easy to find, provide enough
parking space, be available on our dates AND be affordable to a community-based
non-profit choral society.
And if that weren't
enough...it would really, really great if the architecture itself could
approximate the 18th century.
There are a LOT of
places in Westchester that made the grade in some or most of these criteria,
but we found only one that made the grade across the board. That place
is the historic Presbyterian Church of White Plains.
Located on North Broadway
just a few blocks south of Interstate 287 (exit 6), this beautiful place
sits on land that was deeded to the congregation all the back in 1714...thirteen
years before Bach performed the St. John Passion.
We are so looking
forward to performing this piece in this place. We hope you'll come and
enjoy it with us. Click on the link for a map
