The 2017-2018 season marks the 50th anniversary season of the New Amsterdam Singers and our Music Director Clara Longstreth. We hope you will join us in two major initiatives to celebrate this milestone season.
First, the chorus has commissioned three new works in honor of Clara’s fifty years with NAS. Each of our concerts in 2017-2018 will feature the world premiere of one of these new works.
- December 8 and 10, 2017: Carol Barnett, The Darkling Thrush
- March 9 and 11, 2018: Lisa Bielawa, Walks of Life
- May 30, 2018: Ben Moore, The Wave Rises: Settings of Virginia Woolf

In addition to these special additions to our regular concerts, we will mark this landmark season with a 50th Anniversary Gala on the evening of April 19, 2018. We will gather at a major event venue in Manhattan to honor our founder and Music Director Clara Longstreth and celebrate these fifty seasons of music. More information on attending this special evening will follow soon.
Make your plans now to join us for this special season of celebration!
