Saint Gregory the Great Children’s Choir

GENERAL OVERVIEW

The Saint Gregory Children’s Choir School is comprehensive musical education and immersion into the Catholic choral tradition. Over the course of the program, students will learn to read music fluently and sing with confidence everything from Gregorian chant to modern compositions. Students will also learn music theory according the curriculum of the Royal College of Music in Toronto.

Each year students will increasingly participate in the liturgical life of the Basilica as well as sing for concerts and other parish events. Plans for a choral trip will be developed.

Enrollment is open to any Catholic boy or girl, ages 8-12. Children do not need to be a student at the Basilica School of Saint Mary or a parishioner at the Basilica. No prior musical training is required.

The school year begins on Monday, September 7, 2023, and ends on Sunday, June 11, 2024, the Feast of Corpus Christi. Classes are Tuesday and Thursday from 4 pm to 5 pm. Parents can drop off their children as early as 3:30 pm at the Lyceum Auditorium, 313 Duke Street. The cost is $1,250 per year. Click here to register.
