The Liturgical Choir is the principal choir at Saint Thomas More. A semi-professional ensemble, it consists of volunteers and choral scholars who sing at and enrich the 11:00 am mass every Sunday from September – Pentecost Sunday. We sing a variety of repertoire rooted in Catholic tradition, ranging from Gregorian chant all the way to Sacred Music written by contemporary composers. Rehearsals take place every Sunday in the choral season at 9:30 am in the gathering space at STM. Extra rehearsals may be scheduled in the weeks leading up to significant Holy Days throughout the year. These take place on Wednesdays at 7:00 pm. The choir is open by audition to those age 16 and older. The ensemble rehearses at a relatively quick pace, so previous choral experience and the ability to read music is recommended. If you are interested in joining the choir, please contact Adam Chlebek at [email protected] to schedule an audition. For more information contact Adam Chlebek, Director of Music, St. Thomas More Catholic Church, at 585. 381-4200.
