The Hunter College Choir is actually two choirs! The day section rehearses twice a week, Monday and Thursday (1:10-2:25) while the evening section of the Hunter College Choir rehearses on Thursday evenings only (6:00-8:30). Members of the community or students who work during the day chose the evening section because of convenience of time and location while others find the day section can easily be combined with many interesting courses in the music department or college. For those interested in registering for credit, please consult the registration codes below:
