Tips For Choosing Christmas Concerts NYC Groups Organize

By Gloria Mason


A large part of a Christmas celebration is music. Both traditional and modern carols help put people in a festive mood. In addition to numerous offerings of recorded music, there are several Christmas concerts NYC residents can attend.

Prior to searching for an event, a family needs to decide exactly what kind of music they prefer to listen to for one to three hours, particularly if they prefer instrumental or vocals. Also, some events may lean more towards secular music while others may be religious. Regardless of if the event is marketed as secular or religious, traditional carols may not necessarily be performed.

Attend professional instrumental performances. If you prefer mostly instrumental music, then you have many options. Professional orchestras, string quartets, concert bands and symphonies prepare for concerts devoted to this time of year. The home concert halls of such groups are normally where the events take place. The city may also coordinate performance by these groups that are free and open to the general public.

Many amateur instrumental performance groups also give concerts to mark the occasion. A high school or university orchestra or symphonic band is mostly likely to do so. These events mostly attract fellow students, faculty and staff members and their families but are normally open to anyone. A small fee may be charged.

Seek out events held at local churches. Churches are a great place to attend events that incorporate vocalists and instrumentalists. Many larger churches produce musicals filled with music, dialogue and pageantry. Churches prepare weeks if not months in advance for musicals. Church musicals have a two or three day run are usually free and open to the public.

If you simply prefer singing, church is a good place to spend a day or evening. The main church choir often holds a concert this time of year. Another choir at the choir may also join them. Additionally, it is not uncommon for a choir from an area university or a choir from another church to perform one or two carols as well.

A recording artist may also give a performance to celebrate the occasion. Such a performance may entail the artist performing original or traditional tunes as well as tunes not related to the occasion. Additionally, several other artists may perform, especially if the event is promoted as linked to the occasion. A concert that features a well-known recording artist may be more expensive than other concerts in the area.

Be mindful when events take place. Concerts may take place a week or maybe even two or three months before the special occasion. Some performance groups schedule events this way in order to prolong the celebration a little longer. A few other performance groups may do this to provide group members extra time to spend with their friends and relatives.

Use several resources to search for events. Events can be found in a variety of ways. Local newspapers often print a calendar or related events. This calendar is updated as more organizations send in their information. The internet is also a good resource to check for events. Go to the websites of large churches and classifieds sites as well as online magazines and newspapers. Additionally, keep an eye on bulletin boards for postings of Christmas concerts NYC residents can attend for little or no cost.
