Cathedral Choir
At the Cathedral we enjoy a long tradition of music of the highest caliber in our worship and concerts.
We have an auditioned Cathedral Choir that sings at our 11:15 a.m. service (10 a.m. in the summer months) and quarterly Evensongs, as well as on major feast days. The Cathedral Choir sings music ranging from Renaissance and Tudor motets, Bach cantatas, and traditional Anglican choral pieces to new compositions by a diverse set of living composers.
Our current repertoire may be found here. The choir rehearses Thursday evenings. If you read music, sightread well, have experience singing in a choir, and would like to know more about joining the Cathedral Choir, please contact our Canon for Music Dr. Michael Velting.
Cathedral Choristers
We offer the Cathedral Choristers for our children and youth, who sing at our 8:45 a.m. service during the school year. The Chorister program consists of Junior Choristers (2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades, rehearsing Monday afternoons) and Senior Choristers (5th grade through high school, rehearsing Wednesday afternoons).
The Choristers program is adapted from the Royal School of Church Music model, and the Choristers receive weekly vocal training, learn to read music, and discover the joy of being leaders in worship. They also have special events like pizza parties and pool parties. Please contact our Canon for Music Dr. Michael Velting with any questions or for further information. Register here to participate in the Chorister program.
Both our Canon for Music and our Associate Organist and Choirmaster offer an expansive repertoire of organ music in worship on our 2003 Lively-Fulcher organ.

Cathedral Arts
As part of our role as a Cathedral for the city, we also offer a wide range of concerts and arts programming during the year through our Cathedral Arts program. These include organ concerts, choral music, chamber music, icon writing retreat, and the popular Bachanalia, featuring six hours of live performance from the vast repertoire of Johann Sebastian Bach. Stay tuned for more information about the current season. To become a supporter of the Cathedral Arts program, called Friends of the Cathedral, click here.
