(Compiled by Irving Ravin)

Only major or new works are listed, but repetitions of these are not given. Some listings give only the choral portion, omitting orchestral or solo vocal selections presented. Some programs were given by smaller groups within Dessoff such as a women's chorus, motet singers, etc. Some programs were parts of festivals or otherwise under other auspices than ours. Conductors have included: Margarete Dessoff, Paul Boepple, Leon Barzin, Randall Thompson, and Robert G. Barrow (once). Private concerts, such as for associate members, are omitted.
