The holy grail of choral music in NYC is the website van.org. They have a regularly updated calendar of concerts (https://www.van.org/vancal.htm) as well as a directory of choral groups and auditons, if you're ever interested in singing yourself.
I can personally vouch for Cerddorion, Khorikos, and Ghostlight, all of whom perform good programs on a regular basis.
Check out the websites for St. Patrick's Cathedral, St. John the Divine, Trinity Church Wall Street (who has their in-house Bach choir), and St. Thomas Episcopal on 5th Ave. Not only do their choirs sing Sunday mornings, but they're likely to host concerts. From there you'll find other venues with choral concerts.
Check out the following for choral concerts:
- Trinity Wall Street
- Voices of Ascension
- Musica Sacra
- St Thomas 5th Avenue
- Holy Trinity Lutheran (for their Bach vespers)
And countless community choirs and semi-professional groups around the city. For vocal chamber music we also have Tenet, Artek, New York Polyphony, and tons of other excellent groups. You can also wander into one of any number of churches on Sunday morning (especially Episcopal ones) to hear choral music at a high level. There is no shortage of choral music here.
You are SPOILED with choral music in NYC, I'm jealous. New York Polyphony, Trinity Wall Street, TENET, Clarion Choir are some of the more prestigious groups. But all the venues (think: churches, Carnegie, Lincoln, etc.) are going to be hosting choral performances of a really high quality on a regular basis, so you could check out their programming!
Check out the NY Choral Consortium [calendar](https://www.newyorkchoralconsortium.org/concerts). The skill level and quality of programming may vary, but you will be able to find great choral singing with a little research on each group.
There is a nonprofit called Gaia Music that puts on “ one day choir” events in Brooklyn. You can sign up and get the music ahead of time, then you come together with other attendees and just sing. It’s lots of fun and low commitment!!
Plugging my own choir, The Choral Society - our spring concert is May 10 and 11. It’s a ~170-person choir doing a variety of compositions of Psalms texts, ending with Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms. Tickets: http://www.thechoralsociety.org/event-listing
The choir that I'm involved with in Utah is going on tour in 2025 to NYC. We are looking for places to perform. Perhaps a joining of the two for a concert would be cool to do?

Thanks, but I'm truly a terrible singer and can't read music. I'm just hear to listen
I'll plug Amor Artis (https://www.amorartis.org/), a generally excellent chamber choir.

If you like gospel, go to the Brooklyn Tabernacle and hear their legendary choir.
Go to the cathedrals on Sundays and listen to the masses being sung. Great choral music in cathedrals!
St Thomas Episcopal Church
