The Cathedral Choirs of Boys and Girls

Trinity Cathedral honors the role of the church in training young people for musical leadership. We strive to provide vibrant, substantial, and fun musical programs for all children who show an interest and who can commit to our weekly schedule. Our choral programs promote leadership, teamwork, and self-discipline while teaching musical skills that last a lifetime. 

Boys and Girls maintain separate rehearsal schedules, and normally join together in singing for Sunday services.

In addition to singing weekly for the 9:00 Sunday Eucharist, the choirs regularly sing for concerts, tours and recordings.  In the past five years they have sung in Gloucester, England; Washington Cathedral; Trinity Church, New Haven, CT; St. Philip’s Cathedral, Atlanta; and Grace Church, Charleston.  Each fall they travel to Camp St. Christopher on retreat.  In 2009 they will sing at the American Cathedral, Paris, and Canterbury Cathedral. Please contact Canon Jared Johnson for more information.
