St Patrick’s Cathedral is currently recruiting Choral Scholars to sing in the Cantate Domino choir.

 

The Choral Scholarships are provided to students in Years 3-6 who:

  • have musical interest and aptitude
  • are willing to learn and perform traditional styles of sacred music, including Gregorian chant and sacred polyphony.

 

The children join the Cathedral’s Cantate Domino choir, currently comprised of 30 adults and children.

 

The Choral Scholarships provide $1,000 per annum towards the general education tuition – or musical tuition – of the children.

 

The Choral Scholars are required to

  • sing twice a month at 10.30am Mass at St Patrick’s Cathedral
  • rehearse weekly during school term time, with an extra rehearsal immediately before Sunday Masses
  • sing in one Easter and one Christmas service
  • attend professional development workshops during the year.

 

We provide our Choral Scholars with opportunities to learn and perform a wide range of exciting repertoire and opportunities to grow and develop as singers and musicians:

 

  • we sing at community events such as Administration Day
  • the children receive mentoring from a group of very experienced adult singers who help train them in sacred music repertoire.

 

If you would like to find out more about the audition process and receive an application form, please contact:
