Our Chancel Choir consists of New York City's finest professional choristers. This choir sings at our principal worship services. In addition, the choir presents several choral concerts each season along with the Candlelight Carol Service and the Good Friday presentation of Sir John Stainer’s “The Crucifixion.” In addition to the professional choristers, the choir includes several volunteer choristers who have extensive chamber chorus experience. Our repertoire spans from early music to the recently composed, all in the classical sacred tradition. Participation in this choir is very demanding and requires fine sight-reading, pitch matching, and voice blending skills. At this time, there are no positions open in this choir. Anyone interested in auditioning for future consideration in the Chancel Choir should contact Minister of Music Keith S. Tóth for further information.
