St Stephen's ChoraleThe St Stephen’s Chorale is a community choir that sings the 12:00 noon mass on the first Sunday of the month at St Stephen’s Cathedral. Many of its members are drawn from parish churches, and enjoy the fact that they can fulfil their responsibilities in their own parish on Sunday morning and then sing at the Cathedral. The choir sings most music in four choral parts – soprano, alto, tenor and bass. The ability to read music is an advantage but not a requirement.

BASIC COMMITMENT
First Sunday of the month 11:30am – 1:30pm (includes rehearsal and mass). Rehearsals are held on Tuesday nights from 7:30 pm – 9:00 pm Choristers are not required to be Catholic to be members of the choir. EXTRA COMMITMENT
The choir will sing for two or three extra events per year and there may be a few extra rehearsals for these. These “extras” include joining with other choirs to form a massed choir for festivals. Participation in extra musical or social commitments is optional. |
DRESS
For rehearsals dress is casual. PARKING
Parking is available free of charge for rehearsals and masses in the Cathedral Car Park TRYOUT
No matter how much information you receive, it is still sometimes difficult to make decisions about joining a choir. Will you like it? Will it fit into your schedule? Often these questions simply cannot be answered by thinking about things. We strongly recommend in the beginning that you do not “join the choir” but “join for a tryout”. Only after a few weeks of participation will you know if it is going to work. WHERE NOW?
If you are interested, call the Cathedral Director of Music on 3324 3009. A call does not commit you to the choir, but it does allow you to discuss issues. |
