Diocesan Festival Choir
Click here for Festival Choir Schedule for September 2010
The Diocesan Festival Choir is a choir of 40-50 singers that sings at major Diocesan Liturgies throughout the year, including Ordinations, Chrism Mass, Wedding Anniversary Liturgies, etc.
Rehearsals are held on Tuesday evenings from 8:00 – 9:30 pm.
Membership is by audition, and auditions consist of simple vocalizes to evaluate primarily pitch-matching, tonal quality and breath control.
Singers who enjoy the larger-choir experience are encouraged to contact Thom DeLessio to discuss membership in the choir, and to schedule an audition.
The Diocesan Festival Choir rehearses at the St. John Neumann Pastoral Center on Metlars Lane in Piscataway, unless otherwise indicated.

Repertoire is challenging and rehearsals fast paced.
