Adult Choirs
Trinity Cathedral Choir
Rehearsals: Thursdays, 7:00-9:00 pm / Service: Sundays at 10:00 am
The fifty-voice Trinity Choir is an auditioned ensemble made up of singers from all walks of life who share a fierce dedication to the craft of choral singing in a liturgical context and to each another. The choir’s repertory covers a wide variety of styles and genres; from plainsong to Anglican choral treasures to modern arrangements of Black spirituals, the musicians of the Trinity Choir endeavor to provide the Cathedral’s worship services with informed, emphatic, and moving musical offerings. They have made multiple choral pilgrimages to England, including a trip to London’s St. Paul’s Cathedral for a weeklong residence in August 2022, and will travel to Durham Cathedral for a weeklong residency in July 2026. The choir also enjoys frequent collaborations with Portland Baroque Orchestra.
Cathedral Schola
The Cathedral Schola is an ensemble of professional vocalists numbering from eight to sixteen, depending on the repertoire.
​
The members, comprised of some of the finest singers in the Portland area, are drawn from a number of professional, academic, and liturgical choirs. This choir provides music for Eucharist and Evensong services, supports the Trinity Choir, and offers a number of special services throughout the year.
Rehearsals & service calls vary.
