Choristers
Queen of Angels offers a unique opportunity for children to develop their musical talent, the Queen of Angels Choristers. This group of young singers, drawn mainly from the Parish School, grades four through eight, is committed to learning and performing the finest liturgical choral music available for treble voices. Choristers study music from composers such as J. S. Bach, Wolfgang Mozart, and Ralph Vaughan Williams. In addition, all choristers will receive the benefit of musical training based on the RSCM (Royal School of Church Music) training scheme. The RSCM program is designed especially for young singers. It provides a modular approach to developing both the singing voice and general musical skills.
