| RCS has been singing fine choral music since 1964. Based in the Riverdale neighborhood of the Bronx, it is a volunteer chorus, independent of any religious or educational institution. Members are a congenial group of people ranging from young adults to senior citizens: students, working people and retirees, singles and couples from diverse ethnic backgrounds. RCS numbers about 60 members, who come not only from Riverdale but also from other parts of the Bronx, Manhattan, and Westchester County. RCS has a mission unique among New York City's choruses with high musical standards. It accepts members who have not yet learned to sight-read, if they demonstrate a good ear and a readiness to learn music. This has enabled adults who never developed sight-singing skills to participate in musical performance on a demanding level. To assist them, the Music Director offers an optional 45-minute sight-singing workshop before each regular rehearsal, at no extra cost to members. At the same time, the membership includes very experienced choral singers, some with professional training. Rehearsals are held on Wednesday evenings, 7:30-9:45 p.m. at Christ Church, Riverdale; 252nd Street and Henry Hudson Parkway East.
