Against a glittering skyline speckled with holiday lights, NYSAE members and guests gathered for an evening of fun and cheer to celebrate the season on the rooftop of the American Heart Association. A highlight of the evening was entertainment by members of Voices of Gotham. NYSAE’s Holiday Party was sponsored by Visit Rochester.

Voices of Gotham is an award-winning not-for-profit men's chorus which is ranked seventh in the world, whose mission is to celebrate, promote, and preserve the rich American tradition of barbershop harmony. Since the chorus' founding in 2008, Voices of Gotham has distinguished itself as one of the country's leading incubators of both new barbershop music and of young musical artists who will shape the continuing evolution and excellence of the barbershop tradition.
