Questions about the Choristers
St.
John's Choristers provides free musical education for children
on Monday afternoons and they, in turn, sing at the 11:00
a.m. Eucharist one Sunday each month. They learn about the
traditions of music and liturgy and are trained according
to the Royal School of Church Music , an English musical education
program for children.
The program serves neighborhood children
and can often use volunteers to supervise the children on
Monday afternoons, as well as doing administrative and support
work for the choirmaster.
Each Monday afternoon, the patter of sneakered feet is heard
in the precincts of St. John's Parish Hall, as a group of
young people gathers to learn new sacred repertoire, to grow
as musicians, and to develop lasting friendships and fellowship
with one another. The young singers will also continue their
studies in vocal technique, music theory, and composition.
The Choristers
come from a diverse background of ages, levels of experiences,
and faiths but have learned to sing with one voice.
if you would like to introduce
your child to the St. John's Choristers, please call the parish
office at (212) 243-6192, and leave a message for choirmaster
Gordon King or send him an email: GGK1000@CS.COM
