Concerts and
Special Liturgical Music

EACH SUNDAY at 10 a.m., the professional parish choir sings great masterworks of liturgical music at the Solemn Mass, including a setting of the Ordinary, minor Propers in Gregorian plainsong, and motets and anthems from the Middle Ages to the present day. These masterworks are sung Sunday after Sunday in the splendid liturgical context for which they were originally created. Other liturgical music and special concerts are offered throughout the year.
