Christ Church Cathedral has sponsored a vested choir since at least 1887. Originally a Men and Boys Choir, the Cathedral Choir has grown to include girls and adult women’s voices as well. Our mission and purpose is to facilitate and help lead the worship of Almighty God in this place. We sing nearly every Sunday morning during the regular term (September – June), and rehearse on Wednesday evenings. The Choristers (Fourth Grade through Twelfth Grade) gather at 5:00 p.m. in the Choir Room, rehearse until 6, then share a meal together. They then have a written music class from 6:30 until 7:30. They are joined at 7:00 by the adults and rehearse together until 8:00. The Choristers are dismissed at 8:00, and the adults continue their rehearsal until 9:00 p.m. Choristers also rehearse select Sundays at 11:30 a.m.
 

We sing a widely varied repertoire throughout the year consisting of Plainchant through 21st century composers. The Choir is affiliated with the Royal School of Church Music, and employ their excellent vocal/choral curriculum, "Voice for Life." There are currently six professional section leaders in the choir, and we number about 30 singers all together. The Choir will undertook their first ever choral residency at Ely Cathedral in August of 2009 singing daily Evensong and Choral Eucharist on Sunday. We also sang Evensong at St. Paul's Cathedral, London. They will sing another residency at Lincoln Cathedral in August 2012. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Cathedral Choir or know a girl or boy in grades 4-12 who is, please contact Kevin Jones, Canon Precentor & Director of Music, at 860.527.7231, x112, or via email at kjones@cccathedral.org.
