Saint Francis de Sales Ensemble

Each week this ensemble of singers and instrumentalists prepares and offers music composed by musicians that have flourished since Vatican II. They perform most of the repertoire in the vernacular and they explore musical traditions from around the world. The Saint Francis de Sales Ensemble serves as the primary choir for the 9am Sunday Mass. They will be lending their support to the children and youth choirs during the Family Mass. Michael Conrady is their director.

The ensemble accepts new members, at certain points throughout the year, with audition and an introductory meeting with the choirmaster. Previous musical experience is essential and ability to read music helpful. Consistent, regular attendance is an important requirement of membership. We are blessed with a core of instrumentalists that provide accompaniment to the anthems as well as provide solos and duets throughout the year.
