Kids Making Music at St. James
 


Kids at
Great Music for Great Cathedrals

Did you know?  There are five children's choirs at St. James!  The Schola Cantorum includes both girls and boys, ages 10-16 and sings at the 12:00 "First Sunday Youth Celebrations," the 5:30 Christmas Eve Vigil, and various liturgies with the Archbishop. The St. Cecilia Singers is an intermediate-level children’s training choir. These choristers regularly sing at 12:00 noon First Sunday Youth Celebrations during the school year. As a part of their training for meter, rhythm and ensemble the group frequently works with mallet percussion instruments and handbells. The Saint Gregory Choir is a beginning choir for children that frequently joins the other children’s choirs at First Sunday Youth Celebrations. This training choir is open to all without audition.  Jubilate! is a liturgical choir for young women.  They sing once a month for a 12 noon mass.  There's also an all-new Young Men's Choir for boys ages 14-18.

Every summer, the Schola Cantorum Choir Camp provides an opportunity for kids to sing together, learning musicianship and exploring the Cathedral from top to bottom.  Visit the 2004 page.  Visit the 2005 page.  The 2006 page is coming soon!
