The Choir of Saint Paul's, Harvard Square is one of the premier ensembles of its type in the country, topping the Billboard Classical charts with their latest commercial recording. The choir is comprised of boy choristers in Grades 5-8, educated in the European Cathedral school tradition at Saint Paul’s Choir School, in addition to professional altos, tenors, and basses.
The Schola of the choir are drawn from Boston’s top professional singers in addition to the Choral Scholars, recent graduates of the Choir School. The choir performs hymns, plainchant, and the very finest choral music drawn from the Church’s extensive and rich repertoire weekly in the sublime acoustic of Saint Paul’s Church.
The boy choristers offer daily choral services during term time, in addition to frequent concerts, international tours, and recordings. The choir has enjoyed long-time collaborations with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston Lyric Opera, Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Boston Pops, in addition to producing three commercial CD recordings.
Canticum pro Matre tua will feature an eclectic mix of composers such as Camille Saint-Saëns, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, Anton Bruckner, Benjamin Britten, Franz Schubert, and many other well-beloved choral composers.
The choir is prepared and directed by Interim Director of Music Richard Webster and Associate Music Director Brandon Straub, who was recently appointed the new Director of Music of St. Paul's Choir School, a position he will assume on July 1st.
