Songbirds: Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels Choir Auditions Begin

The cathedral's English and Spanish adult choirs sing on Sundays and on special occasions.

LOS ANGELE, CA — The Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels is holding open auditions starting Thursday for people interested in joining its English and Spanish adult choirs.

"Choirs have a long-standing history with cathedral churches. Joining the choirs at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels gives a person the opportunity to step into a larger world of music ministry that serves not just the cathedral, but the entire church within the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and beyond," said Joe Bazyouros, director of music for the cathedral.

"Singers in the choir would say that it is an experience both faith- filling and musically rewarding."
