After a summer break, the full forces of our Trinity Choir will be back in the saddle on Sunday, August 16. With the choir tucked away in the gallery each week, it becomes easy to overlook new faces in the ensemble. Starting September 6, we will feature brief choir member biographies at the back of our bulletin.

The Trinity Choir is also in need of volunteer singers.

• On Sunday, September 20, we will begin a series of “open houses” with the choir. Anyone interested in seeing the choir up close in action can join us at 10 a.m. in Haden Hall as we rehearse. You may also sit with the choir in the gallery during the service, no singing necessary.
• On Thursday, September 24, the choir will host an open house from 7-8 p.m. during our rehearsal in Haden Hall. Come enjoy some great food, conversation, and music. Even better, bring a friend!
• On Sundays, September 27 and October 4, we will offer the opportunity to learn more about hymn-singing. Anyone who is interested should gather around the grand piano in the Nave after the organ postlude. We’ll talk about our hymnal and practice a few simple hymns. Each gathering will last about 20 minutes. These same hymns will appear during our annual Hymn Sing and dinner on Friday, October 9.

In addition to enjoying beautiful music, choir membership offers many benefits: new friendships, a sense of community, and helpful mental, social, and physical stimulation. If you are interested in the Trinity Choir but are concerned about your skill level, no worries! We are always happy to discuss additional learning opportunities. If you don’t consider yourself a singer, you can still support us by spreading the word outside of the Cathedral.

Finally, watch for an upcoming letter detailing our returning 2026 Messiah Singalong, scheduled for Saturday, December 12!
