The choristers of the Cathedral of the Incarnation had their annual Choir Camp 2024 at the end of August. Held at the Mercer School of Theology on the Cathedral campus, the camp was a spirited event involving 16 choristers (including three new children) and three music staff. The 6 girls and 10 boys spent four days working on music reading skills, singing, music theory and fun. Special events part of the camp included a scavenger hunt around the Mercer School and a special tour of the Cathedral which involved learning lots of interesting details about the building.
Modeled on the cathedral choirs of the UK, the Cathedral Choristers provide a complete musical education for boys and girls age 7 and above, giving them the skills to sing complex music well, and be part of a music program that’s been in existence since 1883. Membership is open to boys and girls of any religious tradition who love music. Further information about this unique opportunity for musical children is available from the Cathedral’s Director of Music, Larry Tremsky, at ltremsky@incarnationgc.org.
The choristers will return to singing the 9:15 Cathedral for Kids Mass on Sunday, 15 September.
