The Riverdale Choral Society (RCS) has been singing fine choral music in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx since 1964. We are a volunteer chorus, independent of any religious or educational institution, comprised of a welcoming and diverse group of singers representing many backgrounds and experiences – but all with a shared love of choral music. We number about 60 members who hail from Riverdale as well as other communities in the Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester County.
At RCS, we value long-term relationships with the musical professionals who lead us. In September 2023, we welcomed MunTzung Wong as Music Director, following her twelve years as accompanying pianist and occasional mezzo-soprano soloist for the chorus. John Lettieri skillfully led the chorus from 2008 to 2023, after serving as our accompanist on piano, organ, and harpsichord for eighteen years. Mimi S. Daitz retired from the role of music director after serving for over ten years, and has been given the title of “Music Director Emerita” in recognition of her many contributions to the growth and development of the chorus.
In September 2024, at the recommendation of Ms.Wong, we broadened the music director role to include David Štech as Co-music Director. Under the direction of these two accomplished maestri, our chorus is enriched by their gifted teaching and exquisite artistic vision. We invite you to join us as a member or attend an upcoming concert to experience the magic for yourself!
