About the Girl Chorister Course
Since 2005, Saint Thomas Choir School has hosted a nine-day choral experience for middle and high school girls, ages 11 – 18, with excellent musical and social skills. Girls sing several services throughout the week, both on their own and with the Gentlemen of the Choir, which are webcast and listened to by thousands of people around the world every week.
Throughout the course, students and staff live at the Choir School and have an experience similar to what the boys are accustomed to during the school year. In addition to rehearsals and services, girls attend music theory and music history classes, take private voice and organ lessons, attend a Broadway Musical, and experience the city as much as possible. Previous outings have included visits to the Natural History Museum and MoMa, strolling the Highline, taking the tram to Roosevelt Island, exploring Central Park and taking a boat ride on the Hudson River.
Are you a girl chorister in middle or high school who is thrilled by the idea of spending more than a week in NYC singing fabulous sacred choral music with about thirty other girls? If so, we hope you will join us next summer!
