Welcome to the Jubilee Chorus website! We are thrilled to continue our first year as a classical Christian choir in New York City. Our mission is twofold: to glorify God and to edify others by performing music that reflects the beauty, truth and love of Jesus Christ.

Musically, my goal as director is to choose music that communicates part of the wondrous mystery that is Jesus Christ. We draw on the rich heritage of sacred choral music by such greats as William Byrd, J.S. Bach, W.A. Mozart and Felix Mendelssohn, among others. We also perform new music written by living composers, as we seek to follow the psalmist's suggestion to "sing to the Lord a new song" (Psalm 96:1, italics added) for although God never changes, He never ceases to find new ways of inspiring us. His beauty and character are so fascinating, His ways so unsearchable, that no amount of music could give us the full picture of who He is, but we long to see and know as much as we can.

With the combination of joyful hearts united to glorify God we strive to create music through which both we and our audience may experience the presence of God in a new and beautiful way. 2 Chronicles 5:13-14 gives an account of the glory of God filling His temple in response to the musicians in the temple all praising Him in song. Whether by auditioning for the Jubilee Chorus, or by joining our email list so you can attend our events, we hope you too will experience the powerful presence of our awesome God through the music we offer to Him.
