In June 2001, the Chorale made its Carnegie Hall debut, singing Beethoven's 9th Symphony. The group appeared there again in February 2002, to perform Mozart's Coronation Mass, in November 2002 to perform Dvorak's Te Deum, in June 2003 for the NY Premiere of Ermione, a recently rediscovered opera by Rossini, in April 2007, to perform Poulenc's Gloria, and in May 2008, the Chorale joined forces with the St. Cecilia Chorus, to sing Verdi’s Requiem. In May 2004, the ensemble made its debut at the NJ Performing Arts Center (NJPAC), joining with its "sister chorus," the Richmond Choral Society of Staten Island, to sing the Mahler 2nd Symphony, the "Resurrection." In May 2007, the Chorale sang Verdi's Messa da Requiem twice in New York City, in collaboration with the Richmond Choral Society and the Metropolitan Greek Chorale (NYC), plus the Mannes Community Orchestra (NYC). The first performance took place in Manhattan under the baton of the orchestra's Music Director, Maestro Peter Bellino, and the second occurred on Staten Island led by the Chorale's Music Director, Marina Alexander. Locally, the Chorale has sung at the Count Basie Theater in Red Bank several times, joining the Monmouth Symphony in a performance of Orff's Carmina Burana and Poulenc's Gloria. The group also participated in both the 35th and 40th Anniversary Gala concerts of the Monmouth Conservatory of Music, collaborating with its director Vladislav Kovalsky as piano soloist in Beethoven's Choral Fantasy. The Chorale has participated in the annual Freehold Holiday Festival.
