The Road to Global Impact
Schola Cantorum on Hudson was formed as an independent choral ensemble in the fall of 1995. Its members have been drawn together by a shared love of great choral music and by a dedication to the highest standard of performance of that repertoire. Beyond that, the group has come, increasingly, to live into the powerful experience of making music, and the belief that in doing so, a positive difference is made in the world.
When the group of singers that founded what became known as Schola Cantorum on Hudson was originally seeking a name and a logo for this choral ensemble, which had its birth in Jersey City, much that the group would become could not possibly have been envisioned. Yet, one thing was clear: There were to be as few limitations as possible.
“Schola Cantorum” (literally “school of singers”) was the name by which the very first groups of singers were called, as early as the eighth century. The Hudson River remains a waterway that represents the New World. The underlay of the logo, which was the artistic product of a small group of Schola’s founding members, similarly captures this open-ended temporality in its progression from early notational styles to those of the post-modern era…and the rest is history; or, so the saying goes.
All that took place between the birth of a Jersey City independent chorus with lofty goals of quality singing in an area which, at that time, was little marked by classical culture, and the international activity level seen today in this semi-professional ensemble of trained voices could fill a book. Now with equal home-base performance arenas in Manhattan and New Jersey, and prominent international experience to boot, the Schola Cantorum on Hudson of the 21st Century has expanded its mission, its sphere of activity, its performing membership, its administrative structure, its number of performances and performing ensembles, and added a number of unique and innovative programs and new educational offerings—while never leaving behind the original vision of high-quality performance and education.
We are proud of the caliber of our singing, our diverse and unusual programming, our ever-expanding educational offerings, and special programs. We are happy with the ‘organic’ way in which our growth continues. Most of all, we are joyfully focused on a vision that is lofty and long-term; for it is the road to global cultural impact!
Artistic Director
Dr. Deborah Simpkin King is a choral and vocal performer and educator, working primarily in the northern New Jersey/NYC area. As Founding Artistic Director of the critically acclaimed concert choir Schola Cantorum on Hudson, her choral work is favorably reviewed.

She frequently guest-conducts and provides choral workshop sessions, focusing on vocal production, sight reading, and other matters of the choral art.

Artistic and Membership Development Team
The Artistic and Membership Development (AMD) Team comprises three positions providing member services and acting as a singer cultivation task force. The purpose of the team is to extend our artistic leadership and to better address membership development.
SCH Performing Ensembles
Schola Cantorum on Hudson (SCH) is the critically-acclaimed 30-voice mixed ensemble which is the core of the SCH organization. Singing membership is a mix of recent college and conservatory graduates, well-qualified amateurs, and seasoned professionals, each of whom is selected by audition and interview. SCH presents three primary concert series each season, each of which is performed at least twice—once in Manhattan, once in New Jersey. Repertoire represents a wide variety of musical styles that encompass Renaissance through newly-commissioned works, a cappella and orchestral repertoire, and through its annual Ethnic Celebration Series, music of many nations. Many SCH singers are active professional or amateur soloists, and all soloists for SCH concerts are drawn from within membership. Independent preparation of musical material is an expectation of SCH members.
Schola Repertory Singers (SRS) is a chamber ensemble of 16 to 20 voices selected from within the SCH membership on the basis of more extensive audition in sight singing, alternative intonations, and vocal flexibility. Singers participating in SRS are those interested in the challenge of additional, and often more intricate, musical material. This group has premiered a number of highly challenging compositions. Preparation is almost entirely independent, as rehearsal time is quite limited. SRS makes some repertoire contribution to most SCH concerts, and also takes on additional performing opportunities outside of the SCH season, and in a variety of locations. Most of Schola’s Repertory Singers are professionally trained.
The Schola Sings Solo (‘Solo’) cast of singers is the group of professionally trained singers from within SCH membership interested in solo recital presentation. The cast develops a traveling show each season, which is a unique blend of arias, art songs, and show tunes. Audition requires presentation skills in a variety of dramatic styles. Designed to market and showcase Schola’s professional voices, and to nurture and cultivate high-level solo performance skills, Solo offers its cast coaching in dramatic skills. Cast size is flexible, based on ability and interest in this additional unique realm of activity; typically ten to twelve singers.
Music Education
From its inception, education has been central to the mission of Schola Cantorum on Hudson. The same breath that blew life into the first SCH performance season also birthed its Siamese twin, in the form of education programs. At no point has the work been about ‘pretty sounds today,’ but rather about building ‘bridges to impact,’ through skill development and meaningful experiences. Schola’s Boards of Trustees, from the very beginning, embraced a vision that was long-range and broad-scale—a vision that meant bringing many along on the journey. That meant education; and it still does!
