The choirs at the Cathedral of St. Joseph each have their own unique liturgical role, musical repertoire, and sense of community. At times, these choirs combine to perform large-scale masterworks, either in the liturgy or in a concert setting. In addition to these activities at the Cathedral, members also engage in tours, retreats, and community outreach. Please consider joining one of our ensembles: the Cathedral offers you an unparalleled opportunity to serve the Church through music, while singing in a stunning space with a wonderful choral acoustic.
This choir is the primary adult ensemble at the Cathedral of St. Joseph. It consists of 40-50 singers in SATB voice parts, and is open to members aged 15 years and older. The choir’s repertoire spans the Church’s entire treasury of sacred music, from Gregorian chant to the most recent sacred compositions. In addition to its Sunday duties, the Cathedral Choir takes principal responsibility for the music on major feast days, for Christmas, and for the services of Holy Week.
The Men’s Schola is an ensemble of male singers, open to ages 15 and older. This choir maintains a special focus on the Gregorian chant repertoire, while incorporating many other works suitable for male chorus as well.
