What the Teaneck community is saying about us

“…the diverse members of Teaneck Community Chorus manifest the power of music to unify communities and to uphold social justice. Since their first concert in 1999, they’ve been lifting their voices in celebration of Teaneck’s beautiful multiculturalism. Their work draws from an impressively wide range of musical traditions from blues to klezmer, from Broadway show tunes to classical opera, in English as well as other languages…”

— From the Puffin Foundation Spotlight Newsletter, Summer 2021

“The Teaneck Community Chorus represents the best of Teaneck, it’s diversity of talented musicians lifts our spirits and brings us closer together. Hats off to all who make a difference in our town!”

The Teaneck Community Chorus was founded in 1999 to help bring the community together in celebration of diversity. Now, more than ever, we all need to learn to sing together, listen to one another and respect our differences. For its efforts, the Chorus received Teaneck’s highest honor for community relations:
The 2013 Matthew Feldman Award.

The Teaneck Community Chorus is an integral part of Teaneck’s social fabric. Through the celebration of music and song the TCC provides a wide array of concerts and community events throughout the year that represent the true diversity of Teaneck. The Teaneck Teen Idol competition provides our youth the opportunity to work with industry professionals and gives students a taste of the real world recording industry. TCC enriches Teaneck and further enhances its reputation as a vital cultural center.
