Cathedral Choristers
The Cathedral Chorister program provides youth with a foremost musical education that embraces the tradition of children's voices. For nearly one thousand years, children (primarily boys until the last sixty years) have sung daily services in the great cathedrals and collegiate chapels of England. Our holistic approach to training these choristers places equal emphasis on musical development, religious education, leadership training and social activities. Cathedral Choristers receive professional training in the fundamentals of music including sight-reading, ear-training, and music theory.
The program is open to boys and girls in grades K through 12. Teen boys with changed voices are also welcome. Rehearsal times offer flexibility and choristers are required to attend twice per week, and every Sunday. Choristers sing Choral Evensong on the 3rd Wednesday each month (within rehearsal hours) and Sunday Choral Evensong every other month.
This is a Oklahoma community program, and open and available to anyone who would like to join. Membership at St. Paul's or a particular religious or faith affiliation is not required.
Interested families should email Canon Precentor Joseph Ripka to set up a meeting, or click HERE to sign up for Cathedral Music News.
