THE CATHEDRAL OF ALL SAINTS IN THE CITY AND DIOCESE OF ALBANY choral services 2019 — 2020 about the choir stablished in 1872, The Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys is the oldest E continuously performing choir of its kind in the country. As the principal choir of The Cathedral of All Saints, the Choir of Men and Boys sings choral services in the Cathedral during the academic term. The choir enjoys an international reputation for musical excellence and acts as a vital link to the ancient choral traditions of England and Europe, all the while remaining distinctly American. In addition to its liturgical role, the choir is heard regularly in concert and has performed with The Albany Symphony, The Boston Symphony, and at The Tanglewood Music Festival. In recent years, the choir has made three tours of England, having completed one in February 2011, where it sang services at Hereford and Gloucester Cathedrals. The choir is made up of trebles (boys ages7–14 with unchanged voices) who sing the soprano line, while a dedicated group of professional men sings the alto, tenor, and bass parts. Boys rehearse twice weekly during the academic term, with the gentlemen joining them once each week for musical preparation. Choristers come from all parts of the Capital region, reflecting many backgrounds, faiths, and cultures. The quality of their music making, coupled with their uncommon dedication to excellence, has helped make The Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys ‘Albany’s Boy Choir’ for 147 years. The choristers are trained according to the standards set forth byThe Royal School of Church Music. As they move through the training scheme, choristers earn ribbons of various colors representing their rank in the ensemble. The boys not only work hard, but they also play hard. Choir parents organize weekly dinners for the full choir, and the boys enjoy regular non-musical outings, giving them a chance to enjoy a lighter social side of the chorister experience. Do you know a boy who likes to sing? Please tell him about the choir. The Director of Music, Woodrow Bynum, is always happy to meet with prospective choristers and their families. Auditions are held throughout the year by appointment, and no previous musical training is necessary or expected.
