The Cathedral Choir of Men, Boys and Girls
The Choir of Men and Boys was founded in 1909. The boys are students aged 8-14 who attend St. Albans School. In 1997, the Choir of Men and Girls was founded through the National Cathedral School as the first of its kind in the United States and is open to students from 7th to 12th grades.
The men of the choirs are professional musicians from the greater Washington area who sing countertenor, tenor, and bass to complete the traditional choral sound. Together, the choirs set a high standard for liturgical worship in this country.
The vigorous and intensive choral training offered by the Music Program is unique. The high academic standards of the two participating schools combine to provide exceptional musical and educational experiences. Choristers rehearse as part of their daily academic schedule and their participation is fully integrated and supported by the staff of both schools. The choirs are responsible for leading worship for weekday evening and Sunday services. While the duty of the choirs is to provide music for the regular sung liturgy, they are also required to participate in services of national importance such as presidential funerals and commemorative services. The choirs also tour nationally and internationally and have recorded a number of albums.
