About Tapestry (NYC)
Tapestry was founded in 2014 on the principle of celebrating diversity through music.
Beautiful choral works have been created in all genres, time periods, and traditions, and we strive to select musical pieces based on substance rather than style.
In New York City, where attending concerts by renowned ensembles in world-class venues can be unaffordable for many residents, it is our mission to provide high-quality choral performances at an accessible price in an effort to foster socioeconomically and culturally diverse audiences to share in our love of music.
We have always held the following objectives at the forefront of our artistry:
Striving for diversity in our members, our audiences, and our repertoire by programming music from varied styles and backgrounds.
Performing with high standards of artistic excellence, and promoting an atmosphere of vibrancy around choral music.
Demonstrating that choral music is an art form that should be accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, or disability.
Making choral music relevant for contemporary audiences by using technology and social media to maximize our impact.
