About this Event
The Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys is considered to be the leading ensemble of its kind in the Anglican choral tradition in the United States. While its primary raison d’être is to sing five choral services each week, the Choir also performs regularly with Orchestra of St. Luke’s and New York Baroque Incorporated as part of the Concerts at Saint Thomas series. Live webcasts of choral services and further information concerning recordings, tours and concerts by the Choir can be found by visiting the Saint Thomas Church website.
Over recent years, the Choir has toured throughout the U.S., Europe and Scandinavia with performances at Westminster Abbey and St. Paul’s Cathedral in London, King’s College, Cambridge, Windsor, Edinburgh, St. Albans, the Aldeburgh Festival and the Vatican. In 2012, the Boys of the Choir traveled to Dresden to give the premiere of Lera Auerbach’s Dresden Requiem with the Dresden Staatskapelle in the Frauenkirche and Semper Oper and the full choir performed later that year in the Thomaskirche at the Leipzig BachFest. Domestically, the Choir most recently toured Illinois and Wisconsin and participated in the Diocese of Chicago Treble Festival.
The boy choristers make frequent appearances on local and national television programs, such as the TODAY Show, and appearances on classical music radio stations. They sang with Sting at the tree lighting ceremony in Rockefeller Center and, at Christmas 2019, they were invited to be the opening act of the Radio City Christmas Spectacular.
