“Those who sing pray twice.” -St. Augustine
Music takes a place of great importance in the liturgies at Christ Church. Congregational singing, the cornerstone of music in our worship, is supported by many choral ensembles, all requiring various levels of skill and dedication. We also host a concert series – Sacred Music on the Square – which focuses largely on the music of the renaissance, baroque and 20th century, and provides the downtown area with music of the highest possible quality.
Auditioning Eight Treble Choristers Grades 7-12 to Sing at Westminster Abbey
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, and must be completed by Aug. 15. 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.
