The Rhodes Foundation

Canterbury Choral Society, established in 1952 by Charles Dodsley Walker, is a renowned organization in New York City dedicated to presenting sacred choral masterpieces in their original form with full orchestration. With a unique blend of volunteer, semi-professional, and professional musicians, the society has maintained its original mission for over half a century, making it unparalleled in the city. Led by Artistic Director and Conductor Jonathan De Vries since 2015, Canterbury Choral Society performs three major concerts per season, accompanied by professional instrumentalists, organists, and soloists, and has participated in numerous benefit performances and collaborations with local children's choirs. Canterbury Choral Society, initially a musical outreach project of the Church of the Heavenly Rest, achieved administrative independence in 1988 and is now a not-for-profit arts association with its own Board of Directors. The society's performances and rehearsals take place at the Church of the Heavenly Rest, a sacred space located on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan's Carnegie Hill neighborhood. Committed to fostering camaraderie among its members, Canterbury Choral Society combines the joy of music-making with a strong sense of community, ensuring that friendships and socializing remain integral to its activities. With a rich history and a dedication to presenting exceptional choral music, Canterbury Choral Society continues to captivate audiences and contribute to the vibrant cultural scene of New York City.Generated from the website
