The St. Joseph’s Children’s Choir (“Chorus Angelorum”)

Children in Grades 3-12

The SJCA children’s choir welcomes all parish children between 3rd and 12th grades. The purpose of the SJCA is to not only teach liturgical singing, but to also be similar to a classroom setting, where the children are exposed to the pronunciation and meaning of Latin, music education, conducting, rhythm, proper singing technique, and diction. Students meet with Maria Balducci, our music director, every other Thursday evening from 6:30pm-7:30pm. SJCA is a wonderful way for our youth to connect with other youth in our parish, and to delve deeper into our faith through the Church’s sacred music. The choir also sings for select Masses throughout the year. Please contact Maria Balducci to sign up your child or children!

Thank you to the members of our St. Joseph’s Chorus Angelorum children’s choir, who have just completed a second full year here at St. Joseph’s.  Twelve young parishioners spent a year working with our music director, Maria Balducci, meeting every other Thursday evening, learning how to sing properly, read music, pronounce Latin, and prepare music for Masses. They finished the year with a pizza and music party this past Thursday, and truly enjoyed spending the year together in prayer and in music.  Thank you to: Kora, Muriel, Francesca, Lila, Carlos, Teagan, Camilla, Ines, Arvin, James, Mariana, and Gaby!  If you have a son or daughter (grades 3-12) interested in singing or joining the choir, please let Maria know, and classes/rehearsals will begin again next September.
