Once praised by The New York Times as being “the most ambitious” amateur chorus in Westchester, the Hudson Valley Singers has been enriching the cultural life of Westchester and Manhattan since its debut concert in Hastings-on-Hudson in March 1951. HVS performs classical choral music of the 17th through 20th centuries, under the direction of Eugene Sirotkine, formerly Assistant Chorusmaster at the Metropolitan Opera. Each Year the group presents two concerts in the lower Hudson Valley. The Hudson Valley Singers goals are to educate and entertain the community with top quality choral performances and to provide their amateur singers with professional guidance and instruction.
