UNSRC Singers Fundraising Campaign
Donation protected
The UNSRC Singers is a recreational club founded in 1947 under the UN Staff Recreation Council to spread the message of harmony and understanding through choral music. The group is composed largely of present and former staff of the UN Secretariat, Agencies, Funds and Programmes from nearly 30 countries, as well as family members and some guest talented singers from New York City. Currently, the choir is under the music directorship of Maestro Guillermo Vaisman. We sing a repertoire of primarily international folk songs arranged for choral performance sung mostly in a cappella in their original languages while wearing colorful national costumes. We traditionally produce a summer concert and a holiday concert annually, and perform at festivals and other commemorative events.
After more than 70 years of singing together week by week and performing live to different audiences, the unprecedented CoVid-19 pandemic has forced the UN Singers to find alternative ways to continue delivering their inspiring mission to spread the message of peace through the art of choral music. For nearly 8 months, the Choir has been rehearsing virtually every week (via Zoom) and has been able to proudly present, for the first time ever, 3 virtual choir videos.

It is in this context that we are seeking your support and generosity. The unique challenges being faced this year have represented a critical financial crisis for the UN Singers. Not being able to perform on stage has significantly decreased the resources for the Choir’s operation and subsistence. We are firm believers that music can help humanity to build resilience and strengthen social bonds and it is now, more than ever, in the face of these unparalleled times, that we are committed to make every effort to keep the Choir alive.
We take this opportunity to extend our gratitude for the love and support that the UN Singers continue to receive from our family, friends and communities, and we thank you in advance for supporting us during these very challenging times.
