Overview Of Christmas Concerts NYC Area Residents Patronize

By Gloria Mason


A major component of Christmas celebrations is music. Traditional Christmas carols and modern songs bring joy to many. Many people have collections of recorded music but there are also many different Christmas concerts NYC families can go to.

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 a professional instrumental performance. People that prefer instrumental performances have several options. Professional and semi-professional symphonies, chamber orchestras and bands often produce concerts to mark the occasion. Such concerts may take place at the home venue of the group or another concert hall. City officials may arrange for one of these groups to hold a concert in a public space at little or no charge to those who want to attend.

Attend an amateur instrumental performance. Amateur instrumental groups also hold events. Schools and college concert bands and orchestras hold concerts primarily for students and their families but are typically open to the public. The cost to attend is usually free. Be mindful that just because it is an amateur group does not mean the event will not be enjoyable.

A church is a natural destination for a concert that includes both singing and instrumental performances. It is not uncommon for a large church to produce a musical. A church musical production is usually of good quality and require months of rehearsals. Singing, speaking parts and pageantry are all a part of a church musical. There is not a charge to attend a church musical.

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.

A concert may take place weeks or perhaps a couple of months before the special day. Some groups do this to lengthen the festivities a little longer. Others do so in order to give group members additional time to spend with their loved ones.

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.
