About The Long Island Choral Society
The Long Island Choral Society is proud of its unique existence as the oldest continuously performing musical group on Long Island. It was founded in 1929 by Dr. Maurice Garabrant who was the organist at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City. Norman Hollett and Robert Kennedy, both organists at the Cathedral, were subsequent conductors. In 1979, Meredith Elaine Baker became the fourth conductor when the Choral Society became independent of the Cathedral. Last Season we presented two of our four concerts in the beautiful new Concert Hall at the Adelphi University Performing Arts Center and we return there again this Season for our annual December performance of Messiah, Part I and for Orff's Carmina Burana in March. In November and May, the concerts will be presented in a new venue, Trinity Episcopal Church in Roslyn, NY.
The Long Island Choral Society has a reputation for singing the finest works of choral music in performances of the highest caliber with professional soloists and orchestras. This fine all-volunteer choir is comprised of more than fifty singers, both amateur and professional, who come from more than forty communities in the Metropolitan area. Among singers of note who have performed with the Long Island Choral Society in the past are John Charles Thomas, Robert Merrill, Gladys Swarthout, Ray deVoll, Betsy Norden, Muriel Costa-Greenspon, and more recently Gary Glaze, Gregory Mercer and Patrick Carfizzi. |
