The primary choir of the Cathedral. We are a volunteer collaboration of singers who sing for the 10:00am Mass on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. All are welcome to join! There are no audtions or prerequisites for this choir. This choir has regular rehearsals on Wednesday evenings (6:35-8:05pm) and sings for the Bishop when he is celebrating Mass at the Cathedral. They also sing for feast days, high holy days, and other special occasions. On our prescribed Sundays, we gather in the choir room at 9:15am for prayer and warm-ups.
A select choir for the Cathedral whose focus is the traditional chants, motets, and polyphony of the Roman Tradition. Sometimes referred to as a Schola, the Cathedral Chamber Singers consists of no more than 16 voices and sings at the 10am Mass on the third weekend of the month. We also provide music for special celebrations, feast days, and high holy days as requested. Auditions are required for the Cathedral Chamber Singers, as well as musical literacy and some knowledge of chant. We rehearses on Wednesdays from 6-6:30pm. To set up an audition, please contact the Director of Music.
A women's choir that sings at the 5:00pm Mass on the third Sunday of each month. The group is open to all women ages 14 and older. There are weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings from 8:05-8:45pm. No previous music experience required!
A men's choir that sings at the 5:00pm Mass on the first Sunday of each month. The group is open to all men ages 14 and older. There are weekly rehearsals on Wednesday evenings from 8:05-8:45pm. No previous music experience required!
The choir of the Azande community! We are open to all and welcome all! The community brings traditional Azande worship music to the 10:00am Mass on the first Sunday of every month. This choir rehearses every Sunday at 2:00pm in the Chapel. No previous music experience required!
The choir of the Vietnamese community is open to all and welcomes all to join them in song! Previous experience with the Vietnamese language is preferred, but not required. Our community brings traditional Vietnamese music once a month to a special 6pm Mass in Vietnamese on the first Sunday of each month. This choir rehearses directly before the Mass in the Chapel. No previous music experience required!
The Cathedral Consort is the orchestra of the Cathedral. This orchestra is under the direction of Christopher Pelonzi and consists of both professional and amateur instrumentalists. The consort adds beautiful, powerful music to the high holy days of the liturgical year, often combining with the Immaculate Concpetion Liturgical Choir, Cathedral Chamber Singers, and both scholas. The consort is open to all who play an instrument (preferably orchestral), but does require an informal audition. Please contact the Director of Music for more information.
Cantors are musical leaders for the gathered congregation. They lead the assembly in the active participation and musical life of each Mass. Previous music and solo cantoring experience are preferred, but not required. Regular cantor training workshops are hosted by the Cathedral Music Ministry for all those who wish to know more about Sacred Music and Liturgy. Please contact the Director of Music for more information on cantoring or the workshops.
What am I to do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will pray with my mind also; I will sing praise with my spirit, but I will sing with my mind also.
