Schola Cantorum

The Cathedral Schola Choir membership is made up of local professional singers who form two eight-member ensembles leading the music for the cathedral’s Saturday 2:30 pm Mass and the Sunday 11:00 am Mass.

The Schola functions as a chamber ensemble whose members have a very high level of musical experience and musicianship. Membership is by audition only. Email the director your curriculum vitae should you wish to set up an audition: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

This choir sings a vast choral repertoire but mostly focuses on chant and early polyphonic music. In addition to singing for our worship, they also present public concerts throughout the year. Members assist with Diocesan events as scheduled.

Men and Women Chant Choirs

The General Instruction of the Roman Missal (GIRM 41) states that “Gregorian chant holds pride of place because it is proper to the Roman Liturgy.” Celebrating this music tradition, the men and women chant choirs will sing the propers and chant based music twice during the fall and spring at the 11am Mass.
