Choirs
The Parish Choir, consisting of professional and volunteer adult singers, performs at both the 9:00 am Sung Mass and the 11:15 am Solemn Mass every Sunday. The Parish Choir also sings at numerous Holy Day, Holy Week and special Masses and Liturgies, and at other events throughout the year.

Adults interested in the Parish Choir, and parents of prospective members of the Girls and Boys Choirs, should make their enquiries directly with Dr. Giles Brightwell, Interim Music Director. Information about becoming a Chorister may be found here.


Music for Children
Singing in a good choir is much more than a typical after-school activity. Here at St. Paul's, choristers are introduced to the world of great music -- from classic hymns to Renaissance motets, Bach in German, English anthems and Gregorian Chant. Great emphasis is given to music-reading skills, with each child receiving significant individual attention. Choristers quickly mature in their responsibility of leading regular worship services.
