The Cathedral Choir of St. James was founded in 1903 as the “pro-cathedral choir” by E. P. Ederer, and is one of the oldest organizations in Seattle’s artistic life. The 50+ voice choir consisting of volunteers and professional section leaders supports and enriches the 10:00 a.m. Sunday Liturgy and most major Solemnities. In addition to embellishing the assembly’s choir, the Cathedral Choir sings a repertoire that spans more than a thousand years of sacred and liturgical music, from chant and Renaissance polyphony to the best of 20th and 21st century music for the Church. Repertory is a mix of a cappella works and those accompanied by the magnificent Cathedral organ. Auditions for volunteer singers with the Cathedral Choir are held throughout the year upon request. There is generally a waiting list of singers to join the choir. Joseph Adam, Director of Music.
