Hoboken’s 55+ Community Chorus

Experience the joy of making music with singers age 55 and up! The Goldenrod Chorale is a community chorus in Hoboken NJ centered on the shared experience of singing together. Our mission is to provide joyful musical experiences, especially for those 55 and up; to build connections through music; and to create a supportive community in which everyone’s voice is valued. We are starting our second season this fall, and we welcome all singers who can carry a tune. Rehearsals are Mondays 1:30-3:30 pm at the Hoboken Multi-Service Center (124 Grand Street), with the first rehearsal of the season on September 8, 2025.

"Connected" Dec. 7th

Our winter concert, “Connected,” will feature songs about friendship and interdependence. The tunes will include “Help” by John Lennon, “Seasons of Love” by Jonathan Larsen (from Rent), “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon and Garfunkle, and “You’ll Never Walk Alone” from Carousel. Sunday, December 7th, 2025, 4pm, at All Saint’s Episcopal Parish, 701 Washington St., Hoboken. Tickets are available! We ask for a suggested donation of $10, but a donation is not required.
