Boy Choristers (St Thomas Choir of Men & Boys, NYC) in FREE concert, March 29 at Trinity Episcopal Church
Join us for a FREE concert by this outstanding American boy choir in the main sanctuary at Trinity Episcopal Church in Concord
On Wednesday, March 29, Trinity Episcopal Church welcomes the Boy Choristers of New York City's acclaimed St Thomas Choir of Men and Boys in their only MetroWest appearance this season. This free concert begins at 7 PM in Trinity's spacious main sanctuary at 81 Elm Street in Concord. Trinity Episcopal Church is fully handicap accessible.
The Boy Choristers, students in grades 3-8 at the St Thomas Choir School, follow a challenging academic curriculum, enjoy interscholastic sports, and receive a professional musical training. The boys sing about 20 hours each week in rehearsal, church services and concerts.
The St Thomas Choir's primary purpose is to provide music for five choral services each week at St Thomas Church Fifth Avenue in the heart of New York City. In addition to its choral services and concert series over the past four decades, the Choir has toured throughout the U.S. and Europe 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.
