Gallery Choir

Mixed Voice Ensemble

Numerous volunteers, eight section-leaders, and two choral scholars bring their musical gifts to the Gallery Choir. Conducted by Director of Music David Garrido Cid, the Gallery Choir is featured at the 10 a.m. Mass on Sundays and major feasts.

The members provide music leadership through sacred choral repertoire that bring scriptural poetry to life through music. The Gallery Choir explores a diversity of different music styles, including Medieval and Renaissance motets, beautifully crafted Baroque, Classical, and Romantic works, through dazzling twentieth-century pieces that include Gospel, world, and contemporary sounds! Their varied repertoire includes music sung in English, French, German, Latin, Russian, Spanish, Zhosa, Swahili, and Zulu. The Gallery Choir also joins forces with its P&A choral “siblings,” the Treble Clef Choir and Bass Clef Choir, to present unforgettable renditions of choral-orchestral masterpieces, such as Johannes Brahms’s German Requiem, John Rutter’s Gloria, and Handel’s Messiah, to name just a few of our past collaborations!

Gallery Choir rehearses every Wednesday from 7:00 – 9:30 pm in room A of the Franciscan Center for Urban Ministry.
