Northport Community Orchestra 

Northport Chorale 25th Anniversary Dinner

Responding to the wealth of musical talent in the Northport area and the need for a local orchestra to display said talent, the Northport Chorale has undertaken the task of founding a Community Orchestra. 

Rehearsals began in January of 2007 for a performance in the Northport High School Auditorium on May 11th, 2007. Rehearsals are on Wednesdays at the High School from 7 PM to 8 PM. 

The Orchestra is under the direction of Richard Hyman. If interested, please contact him at 462-6617.

This year, 2007, Mr Hyman was recognized by the New York City Department of Education as Queens Music Teacher of the Year, receiving over $30,000 for the Francis Lewis High School Music Department. Congratulations, Mr Hyman!
