As a champion of works by promising new composers, he has presented, with The Greenwich Village Singers, premieres by Eleanor Cory, Jonathan David and Walter Hilse.  Mr. Mangini also leads The Greenwich Village Chamber Singers, a group of 18 to 20 singers selected from the larger chorus, performing works by composers such as Monteverdi, Byrd, Debussy, Hindemith, Finzi, and Britten.

In addition to The Greenwich Village Singers and Chamber Singers, Mr. Mangini has received acclaim as the Music Director of the Choral Society of the Hamptons, which he conducted in an all-Mozart program at the 2005 Music Festival of the Hamptons, directed by Lukas Foss. In the summer of 2007 Mr. Mangini led The Greenwich Village Singers and The Choral Society of the Hamptons, together with the Brooklyn Philharmonic, in two performances of Lukas Foss’s monumental secular cantata The Prairie.
