The Cathedral Choirs
Come and sing with us at the Cathedral!
Music at The American Cathedral is at the heart of Parish life, making it a vibrant centre of musical activity in Paris. To coincide with the inauguration of our Cathedral building in 1886, a Choir School educated sixteen boys who sang the daily office in the manner of the great English cathedrals. We are proud of our unique Anglican music-making and have an equally proud tradition of continued music education, extending from The Trinity Junior Choir to The Parish Choir for adults. If you’re interested in sharpening your choral skills, consider auditioning for one of our ensembles.

The Parish Choir
Following the tradition in many Episcopal and Anglican churches, our voluntary liturgical parish choir plays a central role in worship at the Cathedral on Sundays, as well as during major feasts and festivals in the church year, including Christmas, Holy Week, and Easter. The cathedral strives to be one of the leading voluntary church choirs in Paris, performing a wide variety of liturgical choral repertoire.
Rehearsals: Rehearsals take place weekly on Wednesday evenings at the Cathedral.
Services: The choir usually sings for the 11 a.m. Holy Eucharist on the second, third, and fourth Sundays of each month, from la rentrée to Trinity Sunday.
We accept audition requests from high-level volunteer singers. A good level of English, as well as strong sight-reading and vocal skills, are required. For details on how to apply, click on the link
The Parish Choir - The American Cathedral in Paris
The Trinity Consort
The Staff Singers of The American Cathedral are an outstanding professional ensemble, consisting of eight singers who sing at the church’s liturgies throughout the year.
As key members of our music foundation, the Staff Singers provide invaluable support to the Parish Choir, serving as section leaders during the choir term. On the first Sunday of each month, the Parish Choir has the day off, and the octet sings alone, providing an opportunity to perform more demanding music.
We are regularly seeking singers who are accomplished ensemble performers, proficient sight-readers, and who demonstrate a willingness to integrate into our unique international community.
The Director of Music is happy to hear from prospective candidates and is available for an informal chat to discuss the role in greater detail.
The Trinity Junior Choir
Trinity Junior Choir
Founded in 2025, Trinity Junior Choir offers children the opportunity to experience high-quality choral education while actively participating in the liturgy of The American Cathedral. Open to boys and girls ages 7–13, the choir provides some of the finest musical training available.
The choir is led by Acting Director of Music George Nicholls and singing teacher Laure Molter.
Being a Chorister Is a Life-Changing Experience
Being a chorister is a fun, inspiring, and rewarding experience that gives children a unique head start in life. Through their participation, they develop valuable skills such as self-discipline, focus, confidence, teamwork, and organization. These qualities are nurtured through engagement with the rich traditions of sacred music and worship—seen in the beauty of the Cathedral, heard in its music and liturgy, and experienced through the meaningful role choristers play in the life of the Church.
Parents receive a detailed schedule at the beginning of each academic term, but a typical week includes:
Rehearsals: Sundays during Paris academic term time from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Services: Choral Evensong on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. (approximately monthly)
Joining Trinity Junior Choir is an exciting opportunity, but it is also a meaningful commitment for your child, your family, and The American Cathedral. Choristers and their families are expected to make a regular commitment to attending rehearsals and services.
Trinity Junior Choir welcomes all children, regardless of their background or musical experience. If your child is interested in joining Trinity Junior Choir, simply click the link below to register, and our Acting Director of Music will be in touch.
No audition is required—just a love of singing!
