about us
The American Radio Choir (ARC) was founded in New York in 2006 by Artistic Director Daniel Shaw with the mission to perform and record American Music with the finest professional singers in New York City. We have made four recordings which can be heard here, on our CD's, iTunes, and informal videos of sections our most recent recording can be found on YouTube. Currently we are preparing for our second international collaboration with a guest conductor Claude Levy, an award winning conductor from Beziers France. We are also expanding our Choral Scholars program to include a community outreach concert series and to participate in the Saint Paul's Chapel concert series at Columbia University, NYC.
