Musical formation for boys ages 7–15, building the choral foundations that serve a singer — and a man — for life.
Inquire About Membership →Directed by Harold Rutila, the St. Philip Neri Boys' Choir builds the same foundational choral skills as the Girls' Choir — sight-reading, solfège, pronunciation, phrasing, and four-part harmony — within the particular context of the boys' voice and its development.
Service in the Boys' Choir may run concurrently with service at the altar, integrating the choir's participation into the full liturgical life of the Shrine. Boys reaching age 16 are actively encouraged to transition into the Young Adult Choir and the Gregorian Chant Schola.
The rehearsal schedule runs concurrently with the homeschool co-op calendar.
