The Masterwork Chorus Summer Sings!

Masterwork’s annual Summer Sings are an ideal way to connect with like-minded music lovers in the “off” season.  The Summer Sings are held on Wednesday evenings at 7:30 in June and July and August at the New Jersey Youth Symphony facility, 570 Central Avenue, New Providence, NJ. The Sings feature some of the area’s most prominent conductors and rising soloists, offering both singers and listeners the opportunity to revisit beloved choral masterpieces and discover new favorites.
