Choir Overview

Choir Composition/Simple Basic Requirements

Our Lady's Adult Choir has a long an extraordinary tradition as one of the few SATB (Soprano Alto Tenor Bass, singing in four-part harmony) parish choirs in the Archdiocese of Boston. The great tradition of an SATB choir at Our Lady's is partly due to its tradition of having highly qualified music directors and highly supportive clergy.Our Lady's adult choir is composed of about 10 parishioners, who can satisfy a basic requirement of repeating back a simple short melody in the proper pitch, are always welcome and sought after.

Rehearsal for the Adult Choir is Wednesday evenings at 7:00pm

Teenagers and College Students Welcome

We are hoping that those high school juniors and seniors that sing in their high school choruses would consider being affiliated with us and sing with us when they are able, and we will be seeking out who in the parish falls into this category. Solo opportunities, if desired, will happily be fostered - we want the parish to hear our young, up-and-coming, in-house talent. We realize most college students are away, but for those that sing, we request that they or their family make themselves known to us so that they might join us for when they come home at Christmas.

Youth Choir

Our Youth Choir sings at the 9:00am children's Mass and at major celebrations throughout the year. It is comprised of children from K-5 grade.  Rehearsals are on Sunday morning's at 8:15am - prior to the 9:00am Mass

Schola
