Choirs and Cantors

Liturgical Choir

The primary vocal ensemble of St. Hugo’s sings regularly at the Sunday 10:00 AM Mass and for select solemnities. This ensemble sings a repertoire of a capella and accompanied works across all stylistic periods. The choir is joined by instrumentalists at Christmas and Easter, and sings for Christmas Lessons and Carols, concerts and special liturgies. Choir membership is open to individuals of high school age and older. Students in Jr. High will be considered through an interview, along with their parents, by the Director of Music. Rehearsals are on Thursday evenings from 7:00-8:30 PM (September-June.)  Members of the choir made a pilgrimage to Rome for Epiphany 2019, singing at St. Peter's Basilica and the Basilica of St. Andrea della Valle.
