All Saints Cathedral Choir of Men
and Boys, Albany - USA
Located in
Albany, New York, the Cathedral Choir of Men and Boys is the oldest
Episcopal cathedral choir in America. It was established soon after the
cathedral was founded in 1872.
The Choir of Men
and Boys is well known for its musical excellence, having toured
throughout the eastern United States and England. The choir has
performed concerts with several choruses and orchestras in the
Northeast, and has also released a number of CDs.
The
Choir’s repertoire consists of sacred music written over the past
six centuries. Performing works by great composers such as Bach,
Handel, Durufle, and Mozart, can be some of the most rewarding and
memorable experiences in the life of a chorister
The
Choir of Men and Boys sings the principal services at the Cathedral
during the choral season, which runs from Labor Day until early-June.
New choristers rehearse once a week for one hour, and learn the basics
of singing and reading music during a training period.
