York City area that has an amazing voice, good singing competence and outstanding performance skill that had been proven through national and international singing competitions. Consisting of 11 singers and 2 accompanists, we were traveled to some states in The U.S to perform and represent Indonesian culture through choral songs. We used to sing gospel & spirituals, contemporary music, popular and folksong.
Just year after that, weve been
invited again to visit The U.S to join World Choir Games 2012 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Its like a dream comes true being in
this country made some of us think differently to take chances in here. Officially, we formed this group in 2012 and reintroduce this group as GSNYC, GS for Gema Sangkakala and NYC stands for New York City because all of us live in NYC. (GSNYC celebrating Christmas together, Jamaica, NY, 2014)
Mostly, in Indonesia we are well
known as Gema Sangkakala Choir from Manado. We were traveled around the world joined the competition and also performed in some countries such as Germany, Netherlands, Italy and China. Back in 2011, Gema Sangkakala Choir were invited to joined the competition in Reno, Nevada and right after the competition we were heading for concerts in 20 Cities over 11 States around West Coast and East Coast.

Since then, we keep on doing
perform and rehearsal just like before, we were invited to perform in some of Indonesian events and church ceremonies around New York City, New Jersey and Washington D.C as well.
Gema Sangkakalas spirits had
brought us into this long journey and finally made us realizes that our call is to fulfill our esteemed vision of Serve, Testify Here and Everywhere

We used to sing gospel songs in the
church and some popular music and Indonesian folksongs for the regular events. We have been through so many international stages and big events in Indonesia so we know how to sing perfectly and scored the audiences.
So, we figured that we would like to
take every single chance and opportunity to be well known, to be around, to bless and inspire people through harmonizes of choral songs. Its such a blessing for us to make people smile and to see the look upon their eyes and wondering how blessed they are when they hear GSNYC sing.
