Limited Spots Left in the Chorister Program!
The music program will be accepting eight choristers (treble voices grades 7-12) into its internationally recognized chorister program this year. Choristers will also be eligible to sing on the choir’s Westminster Abbey tour in July of 2023. Auditions will require choristers to match pitch, clap rhythms, and sing a piece/hymn of their choosing with good pitch and tuning. Rehearsals take place on Sunday and Tuesday evenings throughout the academic year. The choristers sing the 9 a.m. service on the first and third Sundays of the month. Admission to the program will be on a first-come, first-served basis and auditions can be set up by emailing David Jernigan via djernigan@ccral.org. The Christ Church Chorister’s program is free and open to the community at large.
