Music at Saint Mark's

Youth Choirs at Saint Mark's

2011_small.singers_with.kevin.bidgood_webMusic is an integral part of our worship at Saint Mark’s, and a desire to provide an experience of our rich musical tradition to our youth is central to our music ministry program.  Children as young as 4 years old are welcomed into a choir, and our choirs are designed to be fun while giving children a chance to develop their musical skills.

 The Small Singers is our choir for children 4 years through 1st grade.  “Small Singers” will be offered Sunday mornings from 9:40-10:00 a.m. Children attending the 9:00 a.m. service will be excused immediately after Eucharist, and lead into the Chapter House room.  Other children may meet the director, This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

cathedral.choristersThe Cathedral Choristers provide an opportunity for children and teenagers who enjoy music and singing to use this passion to worship God.  Our choir is directed by Harriet McCleary who is on the staff in the Music Department at St. Olaf College.  She uses the training scheme of the Royal School of Music as she immerses the youth in the choral music of our tradition. 

The Cathedral Choristers are ages 7-16 and are divided into two groups based on age and skill level.  Youth in grades 2nd-5th are in the Junior Choristers, and they practice from 5:45-6:15 on Wednesday nights, and youth in grades 6th-12th are in the Cathedral Choristers who practice from 6:15-7:00 on Wednesday nights.  During the school year, the Cathedral Choristers usually sing on the first Sunday of the month, and the Junior Choristers sing on the third Sunday of the month at the 9 a.m. service.
