Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir
Dedicated men and women with a love of fine choral literature rehearse on Thursday evenings (7:30 - 9:30) September through June in order to offer our parish an eclectic repertoire of choral works that span six hundred years of musical history. Compositions are sung in their original language with a significant portion of the repertory in Latin.
The Saint Thomas Aquinas Choir is the primary choir for the 11 AM Sunday Mass.
In addition to leading worship at weekend masses, the St. Thomas Aquinas Choir undertakes the performance of several yearly concerts in which it explores our church’s treasury of sacred music. Annual events include All Soul’s Day Evensong (November 2), Christmas Eve Concerts, Lenten Concerts, and various other concerts scheduled throughout the year. The choir also goes on tour from time to time, and is preparing to go on tour to Europe in 2011.
The choir admits new members in the fall and spring with an audition with the choirmaster. An introductory meeting with the choirmaster and choral singing experience, as well as an ability to read musical notation is necessary for initial acceptance. Consistent, regular attendance is an important requirement of continued membership. For more information, please contact Michael Conrady, choirmaster.  |
