Cerddorion 25th Anniversary Season Membership
Since its founding in 1996, Cerddorion has been one of New York City's finest vocal ensembles. In celebration of that rich history, Cerddorion presents four varied and lovely programs in 2019-20.
Season Membership includes one ticket (general seating) to all four programs. For concerts #1 and #4, you may attend in either Brooklyn or Manhattan. For concert #3, you may attend on either date. Prime Membership includes premium seating for Concert #3, "Dido and Aeneas."

We begin our year of celebration with a program of favorites from Cerddorion's entire repertoire, based on audience feedback through the years.

Friday, May 29 at 8 pm at St. Cecilia Church, 84 Herbert Street, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Sunday, May 31 at 3 pm at St. Ignatius of Antioch, W. 87th St. and West End Ave, Manhattan
To mark the centennial of the 19th Amendment recognizing women's right to vote, Cerddorion performs music composed by and about women. We have commissioned prominent New York composer Sidney Boquiren to write a piece for the occasion: "Arise" sets to music the words of some of the pioneers of women's suffrage, both famous and lesser-known. The program will also feature the winners of Cerddorion's eighth annual Emerging Composers Competition.
