Choirs

A Choir School was established at Calvary Episcopal in 1889. The school is comprised of three age-based choirs and meets during the school year. The curriculum follows the Royal School of Church Music. Choristers earn medallions with different colored ribbons as they progress through the curriculum.

St. Nicholas Choir

The St. Nicholas Choir generally sings at the 9:00 a.m. Sunday service once a month. The choir is for children from kindergarten through grade 2 and rehearses from 4:15 to 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, September through May. Rehearsals include games and other fun for this age group.

St. Cecilia Choir

The St. Cecilia Choir sings at three Sunday services each month, as well as at special evening services. For children grades 3 through 6, it rehearses from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, September through May. Rehearsals include games and other fun for this age group.
