About The Choir

The Parish Choir of Trinity Church is made up of an eclectic group of talented neighborhood singers who come together on a regular basis for music-making.

We offer performance opportunities, fellowship, and creative renewal. The Choir is open to men and women; Trinity Church membership is not required. The Parish Choir is under the direction of Thomas McCargar, a member of the Trinity Choir and a former member of the acclaimed men’s ensemble Chanticleer.

Goals

• To build a musical community at Trinity Wall Street for parishioners, staff, and neighborhood residents and workers.
• To lead congregational singing, not only when singing from the chancel, but also when singing as part of the congregation.
• To offer an opportunity for a quality, part-time commitment for those seeking to be part of the musical community at Trinity Church

Time Commitment

The Parish Choir sings a Sunday morning service once a month at either Trinity Church or St. Paul’s Chapel, with a one-hour rehearsal prior to the service. A 10am-12pm rehearsal is held the Saturday before each Parish Choir Sunday, and mid-month the choir rehearses on Thursday from 6-7pm.

Attendance

Each member of the Parish Choir is asked to not miss more than three services or rehearsals during the course of the performance year. If a singer misses a Saturday rehearsal, she/he may not sing for the Sunday service. Likewise, if a singer is present at a Saturday rehearsal, he/she is expected to be present for the Sunday service as well. We ask for this level of commitment to ensure our performances are of the highest quality possible; we ask each member to sign a commitment form prior to joining.
