The choristers are planning a trip to New York City on Sunday, April 19, the Sunday after Easter. We have been invited to sing with the choir of the Church of the Transfiguration (the Little Church Around the Corner) one block from Fifth Avenue.
The Chorister Academy hopes to send three of its members to the Girls' Course at St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in New York City from July 26 to August 2. We have sent girls tot his course for the past two summers, and it has been a wonderful event for the choristers and the Chorister Academy when they return with their new knowledge and skills. The cost for each girl is $720. The choristers will be selling plants for Mother's Day to defray this cost. Please support us!
With our academy director Maria Coffin, some of our choristers attended the diocesan choirmasters' conference at St. Paul's in Fairfield on Saturday, January 3.
