This winter, the Riverside Choral Society extends the warmest welcome to Dr. John Wilson, our new director. Dr. Wilson, who holds degrees from both Westminster Choir College and Rutgers University, is the current director of choral activities at SUNY New Paltz (where he is an Assistant Professor) and director of the Choral Art Society of New Jersey. Learn more about Dr. John Wilson.

This spring, Dr. Wilson will conduct his RCS inaugural at the renowned Romanesque Church of St. Francis Xavier. In a concert that will be highlighted by a performance of Duruflé’s magical, meditative, and plainchant-based Requiem, the program will also include: 

• ​Evening Hymn – Henry Balfour Gardiner

• Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge – Ralph Vaughan Williams 

• ​Magnificat – John Wilson
