    St. Mark’s School Choir

    The sixty mixed voices of the St. Mark’s School Choir rehearse twice each week and perform for major Chapel services and concerts during the year. Highlights this year include our annual Service of Lessons and Carols, Gospel Night, a Spring Sing with three other schools, a Choral Evensong in April, featuring Mozart’s Vesperae de Dominica with orchestra, and our End of Year Concert in May, featuring Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy. The Choir sings a wide range of music from traditional to harmonic singing to even Sting. In recent years, the Choir has traveled to Japan (2000), England (2002), Italy (2005) and we are currently planning a trip to Spain in 2007. Auditions for new members are held in the fall.
