The history & legacy of the pipe organ...Music in the liturgy..."How I wept, deeply moved by your hymns, songs, and the voices that echoed through your Church! What emotion I experienced in them! Those sounds flowed into my ears, distilling the truth in my heart. A feeling of devotion surged within me, and tears streamed down my face - tears that did me good." (St. Augustine, Confessions 9:6, 14)

BACKGROUND ON THIS ENSEMBLE...
The Cathedral Choir is the resident choral ensemble of Saint Peter Cathedral. It is comprised of professional and volunteer singers from the greater Marquette area. The choir sings for the 10:30am Sunday Mass year round, which is live broadcast through Northern Apostle Radio on WNOA at 103.9FM, as well as for other parish and diocesan occasions. The choir regularly collaborates with members of the Marquette Symphony Orchestra and the Cathedral Brass. While primarily an “adult choir” with a minimum age requirement of at least 15 years old, this ensemble is open under special circumstances to students 5th – 8th grade who show exceptional musical talent, focus, and maturity.
There are currently openings in all voice parts. Ensemble experience and sight-reading are highly valued though not required. For more information and to schedule an audition ASAP, please contact Benjamin O’Brien, Director of Sacred Music, at (906) 227-9122 or bobrien@dioceseofmarquette.org
