The Newman Choir is a part of The Fr.  J. B. Fernandes Sacred Music Foundation, a charitable organization.  Its roots trace back to the 38th International Eucharist Congress in 1964 and aims to create “a new man in every man” through music.  This choir is the only choir in Mumbai that works primarily towards  promoting Western and Indian classical, traditional and modern music by training its members comprising of 80 untrained and trained singers and musicians ranging from 17 to 70 years of age. The members of this Choir come from all walks of life and from all over Mumbai. We are also in the process of compiling and establishing a music library in different languages.

 

We take this opportunity to invite you and your friends to treat yourselves to the mastery of these musical geniuses.
