About NASNew Amsterdam Singers is an amateur chorus of 70+ skilled singers whose performances under the direction of Clara Longstreth have won critical acclaim. We are dedicated to sharing our love of choral music with each other and with audiences in New York City and abroad. Our mission is to inspire and educate our listeners and ourselves by performing a diverse and extended repertoire combining traditional choral gems with new and lesser-known works, many of them a cappella. Through adventurous programs, commissions and premieres, and collaborations with other ensembles, we strive to nurture and expand New York City's dynamic choral community.The chorus was founded in 1968 by Ms. Longstreth. A recent issue of The New Yorker called Ms. Longstreth "one of the more imaginative choral programmers around" and the New Amsterdam Singers "a superb amateur group." The chorus has performed with the New York Philharmonic under Leonard Bernstein; American Russian Youth Orchestra at Carnegie Hall and at Tanglewood's Ozawa Hall under Leon Botstein; Concordia Orchestra and Anonymous Four in Richard Einhorn's Voices of Light with Marin Alsop at Avery Fisher Hall; and with the Limón Dance Company in Kodály's Missa Brevis.
