The Youth Music Program consists of four choirs, for singers age 6-18 (treble voices).

The Schola Cantorum was founded early in the 20th century by the Cathedrals first music director, Dr. Franklin S. Palmer. Originally a boys choir, the 30-member ensemble in its present format includes both girls and boys, ages 10-16. The choir, which provides musical and liturgical training for young people from St. James parish and from neighboring parishes, supports the music at the 12:00 “First Sunday Youth Celebrations,” the 5:30 Christmas Eve Vigil, and various archepiscopal liturgies. Stacey Sunde, conductor.

The Saint Cecilia Singers is an intermediate-level children’s training choir. As they develop as liturgical musicians, the 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. Rebekah Gilmore and Ailisa Newhall, teachers

The Saint Gregory Choir is a beginning choir for children that frequently joins the other children’s choirs at First Sunday Youth Celebrations. Children may join at any time during the school year. This training choir is open to all without audition. Rebekah Gilmore and Julia Sarewitz, teachers

Jubilate! is a liturgical choir for young women. They sing once a month for a 12:00 noon mass. Stacey Sunde, conductor.
