The Choir is famous for its amazingly rich collection of fourty-two prizes and awards of different international Choir competitions. The years of 2006 and 2008 were particularly successful for the group, as the 4th Choir Olympics in China and the 5th Choir Olympics in Austria brought twice the Olympic Championship of All-Male Choirs to Pécs. In 2014, the Pécs men fascinated the jury and audience again – resulting an absolute first prize in the Beijing International Competition for Choirs. As a result of the high artistic reputation, the chorus has been invited to make tours in Europe as well as in the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and China.

Founded in 2009, Gotham Rock Choir was formed to provide an outlet for singers of all levels and backgrounds to explore contemporary music in a supportive, fun, uplifting environment, to provide an alternative to the city’s many traditional Choirs and to provide much-needed sense of “cool” to choral singing. Each week, a diverse group of New Yorkers from all walks of life–ranging from show business professionals to avid shower singers–gather at a professional rehearsal studio in Midtown Manhattan to belt out an eclectic mix of music in stunning 4-part harmony in preparation for a final concert held at an off-Broadway theatre. Many of our singers also choose to perform in our “Gotham Rock Choir: Unplugged” cabaret evenings, which give our members the opportunity to work on their own favorite tunes for performance at one of the city’s most famous cabaret venues. Over the years, Gotham Rock Choi...    less

As the voices intensify to an incredible climax, the audience is invited to surrender to the moment. Let the soaring music carry you away, echoing the profound love for those who've journeyed beyond. Dans ce morceau très émouvant, le compositeur et le chœur rendent hommage à ceux de nos êtres chers qui ne sont plus. À mesure que les voix atteignent une rare intensité, le public est invité à lâcher prise et se laisser porter par cet instant d'amour partagé. Conducted by Jad Harjane Composed by Jake Runestad Filmed by DIAZ PRODUCTION at LADABATEK , Tangier Sponsored by THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE CENTER  less
