ABOUT THE HUDSON VALLEY SINGERS
The Hudson Valley Singers are a Westchester-based community chorus under the professional direction of Eugene Sirotkine. The Singers gave their debut concert on March 15, 1951, at the Graham School in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York and have been in existence continuously since that time, performing choral music of the 17th through 20th centuries. The HVS is a non-auditioned chorus that strives to achieve professional results through commitment to the work and with the help of professional leadership. In addition, the group’s objectives have always been to contribute to the cultural life of the community through public performances and outreach to those who are unable to attend.
