TICKETS ON SALE SPRING 2026

The New York Choral Society is thrilled to be invited to join the International Centre for Contemporary Music this spring at David Geffen Hall for Gorecki’s Symphony No. 2. Composed to honor the 500th anniversary of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, Henryk Górecki’s Symphony No. 2 is a cosmic and spiritual journey. Scored for full orchestra, large chorus, soprano, and baritone, this powerful work pairs dramatic orchestral forces with texts from the Psalms and Copernicus’ own writings.
