Our Journey

Frank Haye’s willingness to navigate BIC into unchartered  waters has resulted in new, deeply enriching experiences. His extensive musical background founded him with the ability to turn a vision into a reality.

Haye, a conductor, composer,  producer,  adjudicator, tenor, and educator has served as the Conductor of Symphony St. Paulia, Assistant Conductor of The Boys Choir of Harlem, and Pastor of Sacred Arts, Emmanuel Baptist Church.

Presently, he is the Founder and Artistic Director of the Brooklyn Interdenominational Choir (BIC).  Haye has served as an Adjunct Faculty Member at Brooklyn College, Visiting Professor of Music at New York University and The University of the West Indies, and Director of Choral Studies at Bloomfield College. He earned a Bachelor of Music degree from Brooklyn College Conservatory of Music, and received a fellowship to pursue a Master’s degree in musicology and conducting.

Ensembles under Haye’s tutelage have performed throughout North America, Africa, the Caribbean, Asia and Europe. At the amphitheater Arena di Verona, Italy,  Haye conducted an international choir–comprised of 19 choirs from 10 countries—in a massed sing selection. Recent engagements include the world premiere of the Mile-Long Opera and Antigone in Ferguson. Past performances have included Carnegie Hall, The Brooklyn Academy of Music, David Geffen Hall, Madison Square Garden, The Barclays Center and The Cadet Chapel at West Point.  Under Haye’s direction, BIC participated in the Fall 2020 Downtown Brooklyn Rehearsal Residency Initiative.
