YOUTH CHOIR

The Church of the Epiphany is home to a thriving sacred music program. The musical styles of our various choirs present a unique and spiritual element that enables our congregation to lift up their voices in praise. Although the various groups have different styles, different rehearsal times, different commitment levels, and different Mass schedules, they all strive toward a common goal: to lead the congregation in sung prayer and to glorify God through the music which they produce.

The 11am Sunday Family Mass features music provided by the Epiphany Combined Community Chorus. The music at this Mass is family-oriented to complement the presence of our children and adult members of Epiphany. The hymns reflect a great stylistic range, including Gospel, praise & worship band, taizé, and more.

Epiphany's Youth Choir contributes a unique and heartfelt touch to the Mass celebration when they are part of the Epiphany Combined Community Chorus. Through their participation, the young choir members offer youthful energy and inspiration, as well as depth and richness to the overall sound. Our skilled Youth Choir Director adeptly imparts essential singing techniques and methods to the children in the choir, and enables them to participate in Mass in a very meaningful way. At a young age, they learn that the Mass is a prayer of everyone in the Church, and that music is an essential element of that prayer.

.Children (grades four through eight) are invited to join the choir. Vocalists should be able to match pitch, sing with a group, and all members should attend both rehearsals and scheduled Masses. The ability to read music is a plus but not a necessity. Anyone interested in sharing their musical gifts is encouraged to offer their talents to the parish. Rehearsal is every Sunday at 9:45am before Mass in the church. Commitment from October to June is expected.

If your child would like to join the youth choir please contact our youth choir director Natalie Pavelek at epiphanyyouthchoirnyc@gmail.com
