Choir of  Canterbury Cathedral, England
to Visit St. Thomas' Church!

St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh hosts the Choir of Canterbury Cathedral, England

On Friday, April 24, 2009 at 8:00pm the boy choristers and lay clerks of the Choir of  Canterbury Cathedral, England will sing a concert at St Thomas’ Church, Whitemarsh. This will be the only performance in the Philadelphia area of this acclaimed choir.

The choir consists of 12 lay clerks, men who are professional singers but also work locally, and the 30-strong choristers, boys of 8 - 13 who attend St Edmund's School in Canterbury. The boys receive a substantial scholarship from the Cathedral towards their education, and board in the beautiful Choir House in the Cathedral Precincts. They sing at services on six days a week as well as at all the exciting special events which occur in Canterbury Cathedral. The choir's repertoire is wide and always expanding, as they learn and perform music from the 13th century to newly-composed works.
