Liturgical Choir

The primary vocal ensemble of St. Hugo’s sings regularly at the Sunday 10:00 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 chamber orchestra and brass at Christmas and Easter, as well as Christmas Lessons and Carols and the annual spring choir concert. 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 7:30-9:15 (September-June.)
