Things to know about your membership!
Rehearsal and concert information
Members and anyone wishing to join can view information regarding membership here.
Our next concert will take place on December 5th, 2026, at 3 pm at the Rye Presbyterian Church in Rye, NY.
Spring concert will take place tentatively on May 22, 2027.
We rehearse Tuesday evenings 7:00–9:00 pm with a 15 minute snack and chat break, at the Memorial United Methodist Church in White Plains, NY. Additional rehearsals may be scheduled as we get close to performance dates: these dates and times will be announced well in advance.
Our goal is to perform at a professional level. Your audition and acceptance into the WCS imply a commitment on your part to attend rehearsals, learn the repertoire thoroughly, and sing the full complement of concerts for the year.

Ticket Obligation
Each member is required to sell the equivalent of 4 regular-priced tickets to each oconcert (6 tickets for married couples) to be paid for at least 2 weeks prior to the concert via Choir Genius. Ticket sales cover a significant portion of our yearly costs, but more important, singing to a full house enhances the joyful musical connection between us and our audience—the reason we became members of WCS to begin with.
Parking
There is ample parking in the lot at the back of the Memorial United Methodist Church.
Volunteering
As a volunteer organization, we encourage each member to volunteer to lead or work on committees and attend the events that provide outreach to the community and financial sustenance to the WCS. We are able to exist only because of the generous contributions of our members’ time and talent. Please volunteer by contacting the President or the people listed in the column at the right.
