The Westchester Oratorio Society, under the direction of its exciting young conductor Ben Niemczyk, enlists competent volunteer singers from Westchester, Fairfield and Putnam counties as well as the New York metropolitan area. Voices in all categories are welcome, including those of high school and college age. A brief vocal placement is required - come try us out! The chorus, numbering 60+ singers, performs masterworks from the eighteenth through the twentieth centuries with professional orchestra and professional soloists. Wos was founded in 1997 when a few individuals in South Salem joined with their neighbor, the noted choral conductor, Harold Rosenbaum, in order to form a choral group that would create a high quality musical experience for audiences and singers in Northern Westchester and surrounding areas. Since its inception, Wos has made a significant contribution to the musical fabric of the county, performing early music, choral masterworks of the 18th to 20th centuries and contemporary works accompanied by professional soloists and orchestras. In addition to providing major concert experiences for singers and audiences, the Society offers musical opportunities to the community. Its popular Summer Sings series, which is open to singers at all levels, involves reading sessions of choral masterworks under the direction of top-notch conductors. The Society`s Chamber Choir provides choral music on a smaller scale to local organizations and institutions, such as hospitals and nursing homes. The Society also affords the opportunity for young people, from middle school to college age, to participate. It encourages their individual membership in the chorus and involves youth choral groups in many of its concerts. Students are welcome.
