Its members include some of New York City’s finest choral performers, who are also accomplished soloists in their own right. The Cathedral Choir provides music for the Sunday 11 am Eucharist and 4 pm Evensong services throughout the year and also sings for other major feast days of the Christian calendar. In addition, the choir is the core ensemble for the Cathedral’s Great Music in a Great Space concert series. THE CATHEDRAL CHORISTERS This ensemble of 20-30 students draws from the 5th through 8th grade classes of the Cathedral School. The chorister program was founded when the Cathedral School opened its doors in 1901. These young musicians continue this proud tradition, participating in services at the Cathedral as well as exciting outside projects. In 2013 the choristers sang in Carnegie Hall for the Oratorio Society of New York’s performance of Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem, and in 2016, they traveled to London with the Cathedral Choir and Chorale for a week-long residency at Westminster Abbey. THE CATHEDRAL CHORALE This auditioned volunteer choir draws members from both the local Morningside Heights community and the greater New York City area. It meets for rehearsals on Wednesday nights from September through May. The Chorale often joins the Cathedral Choir for services throughout the year, and sometimes reinforces the professional choir at Great Music in a Great Space Concerts. For information on how to audition for the Cathedral Chorale, please contact Bryan Zaros at [email protected], or at (212) 316-7410. 9 THE CATHEDRAL OF ST. JOHN THE DIVINE is the Cathedral of the Episcopal Diocese of New York. It is chartered as a house of prayer for all people and a unifying center of intellectual light and leadership.
