UNSRC Singers

The United Nations Singers are a recreational choir formed in 1947 under the UN Staff Recreation Council to spread the message of harmony and understanding through music. As a microcosm of the world, the group is composed largely of present and former staff of the UN and its agencies and permanent missions.

Currently, UNSRC Singers rehearse in person, rehearsing on Tuesdays at 6 PM (EST). Will resume rehearsals on 30 January 2024.

Contact Elizabeth Shirokova (shirokova@un.org) for more information.  Please note that there is a fee to join the club.

 

UNSRC Yoga Club

The yoga community at the UN recognizes that the principles of the United Nations, as presented particularly in the United Nations Charter and other major internationally adopted instruments, are intimately related to the basic values promoted by the yoga tradition.

ALL CLASSES ARE FOR ALL LEVELS

The Yoga Club will continue to offer 30-minute yoga sessions online. Here are some of the most recent class recordings from the Club's teachers, Taryn Lesser ("Standing Yoga"), Jialu Li ("Vinyasa Flow"), Marc Nelles ("Yoga Nidra"), and Alona Volinsky ("Vinyasa Flow").
