Nativity Choristers

The Nativity Chorister program is an exciting new ministry being offered at the Cathedral which will begin in the Fall of 2025. If you are interested or have questions, please contact musicdirector@nativitycathedral.org.

​

The Nativity Choristers is a choir for children and teenagers between 8 and 14 years old. Choristers will sing regularly at Masses and Evensongs at the Cathedral Church of the Nativity, and, in the process, receive a thorough musical education. Choristers will sing both on their own, as a treble line ensemble, and with adult choir members singing the lower parts in full choir music. At their weekly rehearsals, Choristers will learn to read music, to develop their vocal technique, to sing in a variety of languages, and be exposed to a wide variety of music spanning centuries. At Nativity, we will be grounded in the American and British choral repertoire, with literature from across the sacred tradition in Spanish, Latin, German, French, and more. The ensemble activity also promotes the development of leadership skills, a collaborative spirit, and social engagement. Chorister programs are wonderful experiences where people connect with their musicality, find a love for singing, make lifelong friendships, and find a special community within the church. Because the Nativity Choristers are asked to sing frequently and is a professional-level music education program, they will be paid a small stipend for their participation in services. Additionally, time for fellowship and food will be built in following the weeknight rehearsal.
