The Diocesan Festival Choir is comprised largely of singers from various parishes within the Diocese of Metuchen. The choir sings for the principal Diocesan Masses and Liturgies throughout the year, such as Ordinations, the Chrism Mass, and other events.
Singers who are interested in participating in the Diocesan Choir should contact Christopher Deibert at cdeibert@diometuchen.org or call 732-548-0100 ext. 235. Singers should be able to match pitch, have some experience reading music, and be able to learn their music quickly.
Rehearsals are held on the preceding three Tuesdays from the date of the event from 7:30-9:30 p.m. at the Cathedral of St Francis of Assisi, Metuchen, in advance of the various Masses and other liturgical events at which the choir sings.
